  Uber has plenty of money to fight this suit and make it go away. They claim it was out of their control.

   3 years ago in  Why can't I get a hold of my Uber driver to get my phone I left in his car or anybody at Uber?

  Did you file a claim in the app?  It's designed so you can request the driver to come see you and you pay the fee through the app.

  If you are in touch with the driver, offering a reward proactively may incentivize the driver too.  Why not try?

   5 years ago in  Why can't or won't Uber & Lyft fix the underage rider problem?

  It’s like a game of chicken.  When it comes to making policies or rules around minors, whoever flinches or do anything first loses.

  Creating a policy, process, or even guidelines opens up for accepting liability. 

  That’s the sue-sue-sue America that we live in, folks.

  I can just hear the board room exchange:

  “We were spending $200K on balloons?!”

  “Umm...yeah, isn’t it a great news?! We aren’t anymore!”

   5 years ago in  Can I ask my Uber driver to NOT record me with his webcam? If I do not want to be recorded, shouldn't I be able to request that?

  Everyone is talking about consent and whether the driver can or cannot record. However, the question is about whether the passenger can say NO to being recorded. Isn’t that a whole another legal question?

  I’d like to say, “yes, of course”, but I’m sure drivers would argue they need to record for their safety and that they have the right to record in their vehicle. (And they have a point.) 

  Interesting topic.

  It could be broken and the driver not care to fix it (or cannot afford to).

  Over the summers, I would imagine that the low ratings and downvotes would naturally take them off the roads. haha

  How was the 4.20?!  Hahaha. That’s darn low.  Was there anything special about the person? Anything notable?

  To get a 4.20, you can either 1) get a 1-star every 5-6 rides and all the rest are 5-stars, OR 2) get 4-star consistently with an 5-star every 5-6 times. I would imagine the prior is better...  wait, is it?

  I thought low rated passengers get matched up with low rated drivers? Or is that not true?

  I get it that sometimes there aren’t enough drivers to make this work, but I’d like to think this mechanism does exist.

   6 years ago in  As a rider, do you really care about your Uber or Lyft score?

  You should care. For two reasons:

  1) Drivers will pass you up. This means it'll take longer for you to be matched up with the driver. Do you see your app spinning upon request? That means drivers are ignoring your requests and they are being handled like hot potatos.

  2) Uber started suspending and banning users for having low ratings.

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