Airports Are Now TRIP RADAR ONLY! (Uber’s New Trick Explained)
Airports are starting to look very different for Uber drivers, and not in a good way.
Chris breaks down Uber’s move toward Trip Radar only airport requests, why it is happening, and why drivers could earn less if they are not paying attention. Many airports are now becoming Trip Radar only zones, which means Uber is no longer sending exclusive requests to drivers waiting in the terminal queue. The result is confusion, slower pickups, and lower earnings.
Instead of improving pay, Uber is blasting the same low paying trip out to dozens of drivers at once, hoping someone accepts it. Chris explains how this strategy keeps fares low, why passengers may wait longer, and how drivers can protect themselves by refusing trips that are not worth their time or miles.
If you drive at airports or depend on airport trips to hit your goals, you need to understand what is happening and how to protect your earnings.
