Remember that you are the Captain of your ship and let no one disturb your peace. If someone tries to look down on you it is because he or she have a low self esteem. If someone raises their voice and /or becomes vuglar cancel the ride immediately and notify your app company to protect yourself.Never lower yourself to their standards nor be embarrassed at your occupation . As long as your behind the wheel and performing a service you are a driver and there is no shame in working for a honest days pay.
Shut car, open all windows ,and dial 911, and record .
What garbage ; it's the kind of garbage pouring through our open borders and will be at your doorstep . Wishing a fast and full recovery
Good bye transporting passengers especially Karens & Kevins which no drivers miss . You are partly the cause of high fares due to driver shortages and covid has brought new income streams and new opportunities . I myself became a driving instructor where students value my many years of professional driving and the stress level is extremely low and my pay is satisfying.
Pay back for all the non tipping wads that Uber managed to dig up .
Speaking for NYC , Burn Loot and Murder ( BLM ) did a great job destroying property and businesses and Manhattan is pretty much devoid of yellow cabs and ride share which is a private taxi . The Mayor is useless and the Governor thinks he is more superior then God and I don't see a comeback in the near future.
Have you been vaccinated ? Why is the front seat missing ?
The medallion problem needs to be resolved and I am only speaking for NYC . At its highest point of one million it was. over inflated and done so illegally but certain people took a blind eye. Without covid the medallion should be no more then 375000 . A driver pre covid would have grossed a average of 75000 per year and would be able to pay off the medallion in ten years interest included. At that point he or she could keep driving or lease it to a broker in which a monthly check similar to a pension would be paid . Now ride share aka black taxi comes along and floods the streets with no cap amount and kills a medallion owned by the City of NY and again a blind eye has caused two black eyes.
I hope these app companies realize that they will have raise rates considerably to offset inflation and COLA
I will take short trips all day long . It's just a matter of preference
Under no circumstances should you allow a stranger to sit next to you . The risk is greater than the reward
I would rather collect bottles and cans then to be a volunteer commie in a Communist app . Disgraceful people taking advantage of other human beings.
Why did you get in the car to begin with ?
Try over 90 percent and do you think drivers will clean the back after each ride ??
All these add on s and procedures cost money and for the amount of money drivers are making to transport mostly riders who do not tip is not worth my time and the risk far out weighs the benefits
$16 a hour to work as a independent contractor sucks for the amount of bullshit a driver must deal with daily
Remember GPS give accurate info by the minute and anything can change
A honest day s work for a honest day pay . If anybody should be embarrassed ,it is people who do not tip or under tip , app companies who sheet drivers and are living off the sweat of others
A traditional taxi service would be much better ,I would not wait because unless there is a upfront benefit
There is Cov 19 and violent protests so the risk is greater then the reward . Good luck to you.
The risk is greater then the benefit and it's not just about Covid but also the violence we have witnessed. A white driver was beaten in the Bronx because of his color and he wasn't a spring chicken to defend himself.
