Just found a tampon on my Uber seat
at least it is not used. Just open and sitting there. Weird.
You should cross post this here too: https://ride.guru/lounge/p/new-study-suggests-drivers-are-earning-a-median-profit-of-only-337-an-hour
lol, my lyft driver once told me that lyft enforces the profile pics, or at least used to.
There are plenty of people who want to or do drive for Uber, I think they can afford to make the requirments a bit stricter...
And yet my mom just bought me Uber gift cards for my birthday, LOL
Your only chance is to find a niche that hasn't been covered yet! Rideshare for farmers looking to transport chickens is probably the only niche not covered at this point ;)
This is so fascinating, I never thought about how much information the driver would know about me. Wait, they don't even display the first name anymore? When I enter an Uber drivers greet me by my first name to verify I am their rider. How would they verify this now?
This is more gaming Uber (the company), but if I have a ton of free promos, I will have my driver only drive me part of the way to my destination then stop the ride, then request again (while staying in the car), have the driver "pick up" my ride and start a "new" trip. I will do this a few times throughout the Uber trip to get virtually free rides instead of only getting one $5 amount off of a $20 ride.
LOL to the fact that "jolly" posted such a heartwarming story
caught up with him huh
Definitely do not get in the car if the car does not match the one in your profile! There have been a few instances of people pretending to be Uber drivers just to mug whoever gets in their car!
He should have picked the girl up himself...SMH
Another one bites the dust...
Go Lyft! I have always been a Lyft fan since day 1!
Ya, Uber doesn't care as long as they are getting their cut. Eventually though, more and more Uber drivers will quit due to low earnings which will then raise the earnings for the drivers who are still working for Uber. In the end it will level out (supply and demand) but regardless, drivers will never make the high numbers they were making in the early Uber days.
Another day, another Uber scandal.
Oh weird, I am pretty sure for the lowest service "uber x" you need a 4 door vehicle....
I still don't feel bad for Uber.
If you help the greater the chance you will get a tip! At least in my experience.
BOOO!!!! This makes me dislike Uber even more! Pats are cheaters.
LOL! Why would you ever picture that?
