  Do Uber drivers get paid for additional stops? Say, I ask to pick up a friend?

  ...and while at it, what about the carpool options?  UberPool or LyftLine?

   3 years ago in  Some delivery workers have no choice but to bring their kids along during the pandemic

  Probably not nearly as much as for people drivers.  I mean drivers who drive people instead of food.

  I assume the companies don’t mind kids being in the car while they deliver food. With passengers that’d be troublesome.

  Those batteries are horrible for the environment, and they don't eve know what to do about it once they go bad.

  It's the same problem with Prius and other hybrids.

  I hope she is famous or it wouldn't be interesting at all. How anti-climatic would it be if she reveals herself and the riders have no idea.

  Yes, but a smart human would hide it better.

  I mean, let's be real here. It's okay to watch porn but this guy (or girl) was in public watching this and doing whatever else. I feel like a few lines have been crossed here.

   5 years ago in  Are Uber and Lyft drivers more dangerous (i.e. less safe) than regular taxicab drivers?

  I also feel like Uber and Lyft drivers drive safely and cautious because slightest errors or accidents can have them be deactivated.  That I bet is not the case with taxi companies.  

  Uber gets beaten up for not running enough background tests, but do taxi companies really do those things?  They drive like maniacs

  Nope. No way to send direct messages. Public posts only!

   6 years ago in  What's a typical passenger rating for Uber? Is 4.50 good?

  You are very far from 3.0, so don't worry.  Did you see this article on being deactivated for having less than 4 stars?

  Uber passengers in Australia and New Zealand will get banned from the app if their rating drops below 4 stars

   6 years ago in  Would you drive for Eaze and deliver Marijuana?

  I can't imagine that the economics work for this.  Delivering stuff is not a high margin job.  People don't like to pay for people's time and fuel to just have something delivered.  PIzza and Chinese are the only exceptions.  All others have another purpose, like flowers that get sent to friends faraway.

   6 years ago in  Lyft says absolutely "no weapons", but isn't that a bit vague? Can I bring a Swiss Army Knife?

  The reason it's under their "community guidelines" because it isn't legal for them to enfore this rule on the drivers and potentially riders.  The drivers are independent contractors in their own vehicles, and they should be able to carry whatever they like and what the law allows.  

  Of course, Lyft can make up any rules they want and they can enforce it by deactivating the offenders.  

  Carrying a Swiss Army knife is definitely illegal.  I think you would be okay.

  Yeah, I believe the founder of Jump is an x-Uber employee.  He sold himself back to Uber.

  Potential corruption?  All part of a scheme?  Who knows what else happened under the table.
