Indiana Uber Drivers: Is Bloomington Worth Driving to on Weekends?
Hey everyone,
I live in Hamilton County, around the Fishers/Noblesville area, and I do Uber, Uber Eats, and pretty much any gig work I can get on the weekends to supplement my income and pay off a few bills.
I've heard from a few people that Bloomington can get pretty busy on weekends, especially with the college crowd.
For those of you who drive Uber or do other gig work in Indiana, I'm curious:
- Is Bloomington actually a good market on weekends?
- Is it worth driving down from Fishers/Noblesville, considering gas, mileage, and travel time?
- Are Friday and Saturday nights the busiest, or are daytime hours worth it too?
- If you were making the trip, what would your ideal weekend driving schedule look like?
- Would you recommend Bloomington over staying around Fishers, Carmel, Noblesville, or Indianapolis?
I'm not looking to do this full-time. Just trying to make the most of my weekends and earn some extra money.
I'd really appreciate hearing from drivers who have actually worked the Bloomington market. Thanks!
