Drivers are complaining about Uber changing its commission, which they claim will leave them with less in their pockets after every drive.

The move could lead to lower trip prices for riders soon, but it will leave drivers worse off.

In a voice note addressed to fellow e-hailing drivers and shared with The Citizen, one protester said they were downing tools to join a march to Uber's headquarters in Parktown.
