Linda is one of the experienced Uber drivers in Kenya. She does both Uber and Bolt, and she has been in the industry for about 5 years. According to her experience, she has learned alot about this business.
She started with a partner car, whereby she used to work for a person. It took her two years to buy her own car. She employed herself and continued working hard and smart.
When it comes to earnings, Linda said that it is true that Uber has money, but with the current economy it is difficult for a person to thrive. She said that roughly on a month, her application can show that she has made ksh.350,000.
That is a huge amount of money, however when you start deducting, you may barely remain with just a token. Out of that money deduct the commission of the company, fuel, because per day she uses about Ksh.6500 to fuel the car. Also deduct the maintenance of the car.
