New Delhi, Feb 23: A Delhi-based Uber driver recently shared his remarkable achievement of completing 50,000 trips. In a video posted on Driving with Uber India’s Instagram, the driver named Hajrat discussed his journey, revealing how it started and how it’s going. The video sparked mixed reactions on social media, with many saying that earnings aren’t similar to what Hajrat has claimed.
Hajrat, who is from Uttar Pradesh, said that his friend told him to join Uber, suggesting that the ride-hailing company gives “good work”. “I worked in a sewing company for three years. After that, I got a car through a friend,” he said, further adding that he is not educated and didn’t know how to manage working with Uber. “You have to check locations and all,” he said.
“I have completed 50,0000 trips. My highest earnings for one month were Rs 1,20,000,” he said in the video. “Uber’s location system works perfectly. Other companies are not as good.”
“What I like about Uber is that I can work as I want,” he said.
But his friend said that it’s not very hard. “If you keep working slowly, you will learn with experience,” his friend told him.
Rs 1,20,000 in one month is quite remarkable, but one must remember that earnings vary from month to month.
The video gained huge traction with more than 77,400 views. In the comment section, some users praised him, while others highlighted issues faced by Uber drivers.

According to Glassdoor, the estimated total pay range for a Driver at Uber is Rs16K – Rs29K per month, with an average base salary of Rs 25K per month.
