Uber is offering ride-hailing drivers something that many haven't seen in years: Big bonuses. The ride-hailing service is coaxing some drivers to take more rides, offering up to several hundred dollars in "incentive" pay if they complete a set number of rides within a set time period, according to several screenshots of the offers seen by Business Insider. In one example, a driver was offered $525 if the driver completed 45 trips within a few days.
