  I hide mine in the building lobby just so it's still there for the way home.  Sure people can find it through GPS, but I don't want to draw any attention to it.

   6 years ago in  Passengers. What circumstances would you give a one-star rating to an Uber or Lyft driver?

  I haven't either.  I have given a three-star.  The guy was not only super late, tried to make me cancel (which I refused), but was very rude.

  As a rule of thumb, I never blame the driver for things outside of his control.  Say getting to me late because of traffic, construction or weather.    If the car breaks down, it sucks but that ain't his fault either.

  Scamming passengers is bad.  Scamming Uber is not a scam.

   6 years ago in  Lyft bought the company that owns Citibike.. what does this mean for transportation in cities?

  Huh?  This is Lyft's move to go against Uber's JUMP, their bicycle rental service. They're merely staying in the race. 

  This is the new next thing. Multi-nodal transportation network.

   6 years ago in  Uber drivers made 600 million in tips this year.

  See, I don't even know if that's a lot or not.  How many Uber rides are there within an year?  What was the gross driver income?  I want to know what the average tip amount was and what the percentage of tip was.  Now, that'd be interesting.

  If waitresses get 15~20%.  What are Uber drivers getting?

  hahaha, true.  just bandoned wheels everywhere.  

  Yeah, I actually don't get it either.  Sure, they want to fly without the weight of those wheels.  Sure, maybe they can be amphibious  but what would they do on the other end?  Just prepare more wheels?  That'll just limit where this can land.

   6 years ago in  Should I warn my insurance company I drive for Uber? I feel like maybe I shouldn't.

  if you are In a state that has resellers, brokers, and agents, ask them if the policy is affected *if* you started driving for an Uber.

  Asking a broker is a good way to find out without raising a flag

   6 years ago in  How do Uber drivers get paid for UberPools? Do they get paid double or triple?

  Waaaaaait.  So while the driver is driving multiple parties, they still only get paid like there's one? So Uber gets to pocket the rest?  

  UberPool isn't that much cheaper than UberX.  So while Uber may be able to charge DOUBLE the driver gets paid for one.  That does NOT seem fair.

   6 years ago in  Common reasons Uber drivers give low ratings to passengers? Let's say anything less than a five star rating?

  Some drivers give 3 or 4 stars for all riders - unless you did something above and beyond.  I don't really think that's fair, but I guess that just changes the curve a bit.
