   6 years ago in  Can I request a female Uber driver? (I'm female and would feel more safe)

  That reminds me of the subway in Japan.  I they can do it, they should have an option for women too, right? Just create another option next to UberX.  UberWomen or something.

  I would imagine their assistants can create them accounts in their names, no?   Can't be that hard to anonymize them.  Though, I guess they would be breaking Uber's terms

   6 years ago in  50% of all Uber drivers quit within the first 12 months

  That's a lot of background checks Uber pays for just to have them quit in the first year.

  Aren't they spending crazy amount of money on each recruitment too?

   6 years ago in  Why isn't Juno dominating?

  Right.  zero loyalty.  no exclusivity at all.  what a nightmare for a business that costs so much to acquire new users.

  Maybe they all need to work on having a "sticky factor."   Frequent Flyer program, discount on volume, unlocking statuses, etc.

  First graph.  If you aggregate the three lines, you get how many trips are actually being taken.  That shows how more and more rides are being taken by consumers.  No wonder Manhattan is seeing traffic problems.

   6 years ago in  Algorithm of Uber vs Grab

  Grab is definitely similar.  They have GrabShare like UberPool. They also have surges.  

  One thing I noticed is that they have a third-party taxi dispatch platform, meaning you are supposed to be able to call regular taxis.  Sort of like Curb or Flywheel in the USA.

   6 years ago in  Thanks Uber. Now some restaurants are trying out surge pricing.

  This totally reminds me of the "pay-for-what-you-can" concept.  It's super cool  If you are poor, you pay less.  If you are rich, you pay more. If you are homeless, you pay nothing.  Way to take care of the community

   7 years ago in  Uber fare different for same location, same route, same time, and no surge.

  The first request must have triggered the surge pricing for the second request (albeit a split second later).  You doubled the demand while the supply diminihed by one car, right?

  My guess?  Maybe the first request (albeit it being only a few seconds ahead) triggered the surge pricing.
