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.
Here's a trip that never left the parking lot of a mall.
Tipping is a part of being a passenger. What's wrong with a driver rating you badly for you being a bad tipper? I've heard it before. One should be rated for being a good rider, and not how much he tips.. but why isn't tipping a parta of this?
Stop investing in weird technologies like UberAirplanes and Auto Cars, etc. That is OUR money that you are using. Why not go use some bay area billionaire's money to do that? You are stealing money out of our pockets, and building out these crappy tehnologies that cannot even be trusted. (and have no way of knowing if they will work.)
I understand if I provided a crappy service. What if I provided a great service and got them to the destination safely AND THEN they give me no tip. Then the riders aren't doing their part and holding up their side of the bargain. They are not being a good rider and hence should be rated negatively.
What's wrong with leaving a bad review if the pax leaves you a bad review and no tip? The feedback goes both ways.
Wow, Lyft did something before Uber.
$30/hour? That's because you drive an expensive Escalade on UberSUV. I drive an UberX, and I make like $6/hour.
That "personal driver" pitch died like a decade ago.

Uber pays way too little. In most cities we make below minimum wage. Tip is the only way to make it work. If I make $7 an hour before tip. The tip makes it $8 or 9. Do you see how important that is for us to stay in the profit range.
I had this huge black guy who insisted I take his 6 friends hence 7 people in my UberSUV. I drive a Suburban, so theoretically there is enough space (and enough seatbelts) for 7 people. I didn't start that ride, and kept saying "no no no no no", until they gave up. The dude slammed the door REAL hard I thought he'd break my window.
I take my customers across the border all the time.
I will admit though, when the traffic is horrible, I have asked the riders that they be dropped off on this side of the border. No comment on what excuse I used.
Do you think Dara K has seen the airport staging lots for drivers? Hells no.
You make a great point on the supply and demand. There is a conflict of interest there how Uber wants more and more drivers, but the drivers are suffering due to low demand.
Unlike the game of Risk, they do not have to expand only to adjacent spaces, huh? I feel like they skipped a bunch of spots.
yeah, nada. Philly here. I did have to go get my car inspected where I thought I'd receive some training, but nothing happened. I even went to Uber's office and grabbed some handouts, but none of them had training. Thrown out on the streets to work. zeo guidance. Perhaps, they pride themselves in how easy the app is...and admmittedly, sure, it's self-explanatory.
I mean, what is there to learn besides swiping, driving, and clicking?
OMFG. This is totally possible. Why didn't I think of that? It's obviously nicer to get my $5 instead of answering honestly and looking for another customer.
I see drivers complaining but as long as the riders are being good riders (not letting the driver wait, not messing up the car) they should never be marked down. Don't fault them for the nature of the business.
Drivers also have the ability to work in any location. If you don't like short trips, stay away from downtowns. Go work in the burbs or target airports and convention centers.
but if your group is too big, the driver can report you and the fare would be adjusted. This is a known thing amongst drivers.
For those who are simply looking for larger cars...well, I guess that works.
I sort of feel like this gamificatuon is like a smoke screen. Seems way more complex and looks like they are trying to hide what actually happening.
Isnt this gamification-awards-and-trophies thing a way for companies to promote sales, more usage, and give the illusion of value? Like smartphone games. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
No, not anymore. At least driver ratings. Not sure about rider ratings.
