  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?

   6 years ago in  Uber Is Building Its Own Scooter to Compete in Frenzy

  Can you stop building stuff, please? You aren't a "technology" company.  You are just a ground transportation company.  Glorified taxi dispatching call center.  That's all you did.  Replaced and automated the antiquated call center fod dispatching taxis.

  The same goes to autonomous vehicles and UberAir.

   6 years ago in  Uber finally hired a CFO, after a three-year hunt [Recode]

  Yeah, there's a lot of truth to that.  For real.

  Well, and people probably didn't care for tha position to be open.  Still private.  NOthing to report ot hte market, and they didn't need profits.

  I love questions like this. I fail to see them as genuine, but I think some people really are this way.

  Was this dude on an uber shift when this happened?  This "x-driver" description just makes it confusing.  That can mean he was once Uber driver and now he isn't and then ran over a child.

  No, I had no idea.  and if I didn't know, how can it help.  That'd be so sad if a cabbie is calling for help but people just finds it cute and keeps walking.

   6 years ago in  Mid-Ride Cancellation Scam - Now on Bridges and Tunnels

  Wait what? You get paid tolls even though the toll wasn't a part of the trip?  ...to cover the return trip's toll?  

  I have not heard this.  How is this fair to the passengers.   I mean, what happens if someone from NJ took it into PA and you drive over a toll bridge?  Would this inbound passenger not have to pay?
