Uber Drivers Say They Will Drive Less for Company After Scandal: Report

45 percent of Uber drivers said they'd drive less for the service -- or not at all.

In the wake of Uber's privacy scandal, 45 percent of Uber drivers said they would drive less for the service -- including 13 percent who said they'd stop driving for Travis Kalanick's ride-sharing company altogether, according to Forbes.

Forbes reports that an analytics platform surveyed 184 drivers who provide rides via the app and found that 55 percent wouldn't change their habits. The other 45 percent surveyed said they would either drive less or not at all.

The driver fallout follows a wave of Uber users who said they would uninstall the app after BuzzFeed revealed an Uber exec's mention of the ability to find out where certain tech journalists had been.

Forbes also reported drivers were also asked to rate their love of the app from 1 to 5, with 1 having "disdain" for the app -- 1 received the most votes.
