   4 years ago in  Are there drivers who do both taxi and Uber/Lyft on the same shift? Taxi drivers lease their cabs, and Uber drivers can rent their cars. I assume some people do both?

  Taxicabs are not allowed by Uber and Lyft, so no. If you call for an Uber and a taxi shows up, they are breaking the rules.

   4 years ago in  Nurse trying to guilt trip free ride

  Shame. There're always people who try to take advantage of their status.  

  It's a form of an entitlement. They quickly start to expect things, regardless of whether they deserve it or not. Being a hero is about doing something without expectation for a reward.

  Maybe you are doing something wrong pandemic related. Are you doing things to make riders feel safe?  Are you wiping down the seats and windows? Are you wearing a mask?

   4 years ago in  Epic Thread between Uber and an Angry Driver

  Uber rep tried so hard to be noncombative.  "We appreciate your professionalism..." "Thank you for your patience."

  Touched this dude's nerve though. There was no taking this back.

   4 years ago in  Can Uber and Lyft drivers recover from a one-star review?

  Uber was supposed to have released this feature years ago.  The closest they came to was an ability to split a payment and share a ride.

   4 years ago in  Have you ever driven for Uber with someone else in the car?

  This used to happen a lot back in the earthy-crunchy days when Lyft and Uber were new. The drivers loved the ultimate freedom, and many of them had girlfriends, wives, husbands, best friends, and kids in the car. Now Uber and Lyft have rules against that type of thing, and many drivers get deactivated for such moves.

   4 years ago in  Do Uber drivers change the music selection based on the passenger?

  Yeah, man. We do anything for tips and stars.

  I don't have like playlists or anything (trust me, some drivers do), but I do ask the passenger what kind of music they like. (or whether they want music at all)

   4 years ago in  Do you treat driving for Uber & Lyft as a business? Do you keep detailed spreadsheets to find out if you’re making money?

  Used to. No more. I just trust Uber's statements. I realized that no matter how much I stared at my spreadsheets, it didn't get me more rides.

   4 years ago in  Are we allowed to temp check riders?

  Yeah, I agree that the drivers have the rights. The unfortunate thing is that customer-facing business is a b*tch. They won't understand, perhaps may even claim they are violating their privacy and their rights..  arg.

  I asked a buddy of mine whether Uber has been communicating to the passengers about this "new rule", and he hadn't heard anything about it. There's the reality for ya.

   4 years ago in  Are we allowed to temp check riders?

  I’m sure you will receive a good volume of negative ratings. In my mind it isn’t even about the legality of it  

  The problem is what is your plan when the temperature is indeed high and you determine it isn’t safe?  Just get in the vehicle and cancel?

  What if the customer was counting on you to take you to the hospital?

   5 years ago in  This shouldn't happen! WTH is wrong with these drivers? Trained service dogs do not cause big messes in your car.

  Fair enough. Some people can definitely smell. 

  Not sure if it’s (BO’s) the same kind that lingers though. Wet dog hair has a distinct smell that doesn’t go away easily. 

  No idea on your skunk and marijuana comment. Sorry!

   6 years ago in  Do Uber and Lyft drivers mind picking up another passenger if it means they have to wait 5 to 10 minutes?

  Gosh, so many holier than thou drivers here, claiming "they would be happy to wait." Why can't we be honest?  I absolutely hate waiting around and I know many other drivers do too.

  I get whopping $0.15 a minute and that's before Uber takes its 25% cut. (Maybe it's better in other cities.) That's like $6 an hour, lower than minimum wage.  I hear other drivers saying it's better than not having a passenger, but it sucks compared to when we are driving a passenger.

  We get paid the most while driving and the vehicle moving.  On a busy night, this kils productivity and earnings.    If I sat around all night waiting for people picking up their dates, I wouldn't be able to earn a living. 

  Please just complete the trip and order another one.  That isn't that hard, right?  Booking fee is like $2 to $3.
