   6 years ago in  What passenger information do Uber drivers see *before* they accept the pick ...

  In some markets, Uber and Lyft are trying to show even less, where they don't even show you how far the pickup is.  Tough, huh?  They do this to reduce the chance of drivers cherrypicking.

  Ironically, at the same time, they are also experimenteing showing the exact location of the rider AND showing the destination - all before accepting the ride.  This will greatly help the drivers, of course, but there are usually a high bar for acceptance rates.  This "gift' won't be available for drivers who cherry pick too much.

  Guys, this can happen to anyone in any profession.  If you start doubting evey person who provides you service, say a pizza delivery boy or a mail carrier, you would be paralyzed.

  Nothing is 100% folks.  It's just a market trend to cast fear on everything Uber.  Can we stay real, please.

   6 years ago in  Electric scooter use is rising in major cities. So are trips to the emergency room.

  These things go fast though. look at the video.  They can cause serious bodily harm, and it can be a real accident.

  What we need to remember is that these things are not regulated.  Sure, we equate them to walking, riding a bike, skateboarding, but the damage that can be caused by these things are way worse.  ...and people are riding these things on the sidewalks.

   6 years ago in  Will NYC's cap on number of rideshare drivers really ease the traffic congestion?

  No there is this concept of utilization (essentially how busy the drivers are) and this affects the amount of money Uber has to pay out.  There are incentives eto keep the drivers busy and to keep their number low.

  That's the whole argument and goal to reduce the number of cars.

   6 years ago in  Someone told me that Uber drivers are seeing "negative earnings." Why would that happen?

  That's multiple weeks of working for nothing. 

  I'd imagine this can happen if you were renting a car, and you didn't work for some reason.  There can. E legitimate reason too, like the rental car being in the shop.

   6 years ago in  Why is Uber better than a Taxi?

  I will assume this is a serious question.

  GPS enabled app where rider location and driver location are transparent.  Cashless transactions.  Records of everything that happens, including routes on a map, payments, messages, etc. 

  ..and the fact that it's like 50% cheaper on an UberX.

  Dude, what's wrong with you. I know we all hate Uber but this one is for safety.  12 hour limit that doesn't include the times you've gone offline (i.e. to take a break) sounds pretty reasonable to me.
