Trip distance: 8.90 km Earnings: 622 LKRIt was another Saturday evening. The last customer I dropped off was a perfect example for a "useless" deal.

Trip distance:33.65km Earnings:1425 LKRAs I dropped off my first airport customer, I looked at my Uber app. After paying for the toll and the fine I had to pay, I was at a net loss.
