How “Est. $/hr rate for this ride” is calculated
We divide the expected earnings by the estimated total time to complete the ride. Then, we multiply that by 60 to show what the earnings would be if the ride was one hour long.
For example, if the expected earnings for a ride is $20 and the estimated total time to complete the ride is 30 minutes, you’ll see “Est. $40/hr rate for this ride.”
