  Are there really that many drivers who have over 10,000 trips on Lyft? Considering high turnover of rideshare drivers, I have a hard time believing there are that many.

  I am referring to how Lyft is giving stock options to those drivers who have more than 10,000 trips.Not …

  Has your Uber driver ever stopped to get gas while you are in the car? mid-ride?

   3 years ago in  Why would it be cheaper to get a Spanish speaking driver (Uber Espanol) or wheelchair access (WAV)?

  The car having a wheelchair or a Spanish speaking driver doesn't mean it's automatically an UberX size. 

  Maybe it's an SUV (UberXL) that happens to have a wheelchair or a Mexican driver.

   3 years ago in  Another hiccup for Uber: Some drivers were being charged for giving rides [CNN]

  Uber algo gone wrong. Love the outcome.

  "It seems kind of weird to me that a company of this size can't fix this matter [on the spot] when you can clearly see what the problem is," said Novales. He told CNN Business he was unsure if he even received the credit, but either way feels it isn't enough. "Not only did I lose money but I didn't get paid for the trip itself."

  For his part, Kurt said he received multiple credits to his account after his experience went viral and caught Uber's attention: A $50 reimbursement for the trip, with an additional $150 for his troubles; a $36.67 payment, with an additional $25 for his inconvenience; a $25 payment, according to screenshots viewed by CNN Business.

  "I don't know how I feel about the resolution," he said. "I just feel like they really don't care about drivers."

   3 years ago in  Uber Eats or Doordash: Can a restaurant cancel a driver (or request a new one) if they have had issues with the driver before?

  The restaurants can cancel orders for pretty much any reason at all. It stinks they'd lose that business, but maybe they can do that if they have serious concerns about the driver or it's some fraudulent order placed by the driver or something.

  I gave this a lot of thought for the course of the last year, and I’m thinking it’s the price range.

   4 years ago in  Is an Uber XL safer than Uber X during Covid?

  There's definitely larger distance between the driver and the passenger on an SUB. Think the 6 feet guidance.  It's impossible on a sedan, but it's possible on an SUV. 

  Way more air volume inside. 

  Speaking of the air, I noticed drivers with make-shift barrier. Total ghetto, but I appreciate the attempts and I did feel safer.

   4 years ago in  Can I ask my Uber driver to NOT record me with his webcam? If I do not want to be recorded, shouldn't I be able to request that?

  Is inside of your car even a private property? Isn't it public sort of a public place?

  You can't just do whatever you want in middle of a city block just because you are in your car, righit?

  Typical NYPost. Zero details. The context totally matters here. Does anyone know what happened? Why was this man dangling? Was it some Logan Paul like blogger seeking for attention? Was he trying to get in or out? Did he really need a ride? Why did the driver drive off?

  So many questions.

  I don't think they are using the Uber app.  I think it's just a normal horse buggy service, like the one you see at fancy parks. This has nothin to do with Uber.Just a marketing thing. 

  He's calling himself an Uber.  You have to flag him down with your hand. (They say this at the end of the video.)

  Because Uber is like 10x bigger and is synonymous with "taxi' now.  Uber is the evil empire and always has been.

   5 years ago in  What Do Ratings Mean for Rideshare Drivers?

  Funny how you mention that the riders have changed. (from nice to rude)  That's what riders are now saying about their drivers.

  I wonder if something has changed or it's more the people utilizing the Uber's platform (both drivers and riders).  I heard that the reason more drivers are rude is because they aren't professional drivers but just entitled car owners looking to make a few bucks. They aren't trained in customer service, and they just treat riders as wallets walking around.
