What was Uber does not count as fare evasion.
Two worlds, one list: the platform knows what was paid, the car knows who drove when. Only together do they make a statement that adds up.
- Uber trips matched to a recorded trip
- 772 / 772
- median gap between platform trip and own trip
- 2.5 min
The problem
- A driver takes an Uber trip, the meter stays off. Without matching this looks like fare evasion.
- The platform apps show trips, but not which of your cars drove them.
- At the end of the month the Uber statement and your own records do not add up, and nobody knows why.
How it works
- 01
Trips come from the platform
Uber and Bolt trips are imported from the fleet export, Bolt additionally live via the fleet API. Every trip comes with time, route and amount.
- 02
Every platform trip finds its own trip
Time and place are laid over the recorded trips. In the test corpus 772 of 772 platform trips were matched, the median gap is two and a half minutes.
- 03
The nightly evaluation knows
A trip with a passenger but without a meter is not fare evasion if it was a platform trip. The amount is shown on the trip.
What it does not do
- The platforms' live status is useless; the work is done with imported trips, so after the import, not in real time.
- FreeNow will follow; today Uber and Bolt.
- The vehicle must be attributable to the platform trip: via the registration plate or the account identifier on the car.
Questions
Does the driver have to do anything?
No. The company imports the fleet export, with Bolt the connection also runs live. Matching to the recorded trips happens by itself.
Do I see revenue per platform?
Yes, every trip shows platform and amount. The trip list sums occupied, empty and no statement.
What about fixed-price trips?
The system does not see them as platform trips. They end up on the review list unless the driver registers them as private or you mark them.
