  Remember this was being tested in Australia last year.

   5 years ago in  Does Uber or Lyft reward highly-rated passengers (5-star riders) with discounts or other privileges?

  Not that I have heard of. In marketing, people who are already using the service don't get more discounts.  why would they; it only hurts the revenue. 

  Perhaps they get loyalty points, which is something Lyft does offer.  It's relatively new though. https://blog.lyft.com/posts/lyftrewards 

  I do get promotions in my inbox all the time though.  Like 20% on all rides type thing.  I would imagine everyone's receiving it.

   5 years ago in  Uber Throws Party For Drivers — And It Was A Huge ‘Unorganized Catastrophe,’

  Plus isn't everyone an Uber driver? Their tagline was literally "Everyone is a driver" or something like that.

  They should  have put a threshold of how many rides they have given. I mean, how did these people know there was an event going on.

  It could be the riders trying to get free rides.  They drop some complaints in hopes they will get a refund for their rides.  It's so messed up.

   6 years ago in  What would be awesome questions to ask Uber and Lyft drivers?

  "What country are you from?"

  At least with the taxi drivers, this always brings up great conversations.

   6 years ago in  I left my phone in an Uber, but the driver refuses to give it back. What do I do? Uber seems to ignore me.

  Offer a cash reward.  Despite what you believe, it isn't his responsibility to return the phone to you.  

  If you had already offered cash and he i sitll responding in this manner, you must have offended him. because frankly, people usually won't say to money.

   6 years ago in  Have you seen this? "Get free rides by puttin yo uber and lyft drivers on blast"

  I am sure some jerks do make these claims to get free things. I see them in retail and restaurants, where people make claims against the stores.  I didn't realize this was happening in taxis and rideshares.  

  What I find fascinating is how this is being shared with others.  Like this person is proud of it.

   6 years ago in  According to BI, 10% is the correct tip for rideshare drivers

  I find it fascinting that they have separate entries for Taxis vs. Uber/Lyft. 

  The funnier is that the info is similar. 10~20%.  but $1 for shorter trips.
