Real trips from one Wellington rideshare driver's evening, July 2026. Platform figures are the driver's actual payouts from trip receipts (including one peak-priced trip). Wheee figures are the same distance and time priced by our live fare engine, with the driver keeping 100% (founding) or 90% (standard). Fares vary by route and traffic; individual earnings depend on trips taken.
