SAN FRANCISCO — When Elias Da Silva first started driving for Uber and Lyft three years ago, he could make $250 within eight or nine hours of driving. Now, he said, it takes him 12 to 14 hours to earn the same pay.

David Williams, who lives in Sacramento but spends his weekends driving for Lyft in San Francisco, said he’s seen his earnings drop over the last year by roughly one-fourth of what he was making when he started.
