   6 years ago in  How is it possible that Uber loses money? Besides marketing and customer support, what other expenses do they have?

  Rates are simply not high enough.  They intentionally keep their prices low in order to gain marketshare, dominate the market, and drive other businesses like taxis and limos out of business.

  It's a typical predatory tactic that can be accomplished by start-up companies that are playing with funny money of investors.

   6 years ago in  As Uber and Lyft drivers, what are your pet peeves about your passengers, and what do you do about them?

  That's really funny because "like" was a problem back in the late 80s and 90s when I was in school. I remember our English teachers correcting all my female classmates back then. 

  Apparently, those teachers failed, huh.  It's still a problem to this day. So funny.

  Wait, was this a problem before 80s too?

   6 years ago in  What's with passengers asking drivers to cancel? Are they being coached to do that recently?

  You can't cancel once you have arrived?  so you have to start the ride?

  Is that the reason I sometimes i hear that the driver would turn off their phone after arriving, in order to not take the ride?

   6 years ago in  What is your experience with CarGo? Or selling products overall? Is it profitable? Is it even legal?

  I was going to make fun and say selling crap in my personal car as an independent contractor is totally fine.  Then I realized that you are selling food.    to strangers.

  These are the days lemonade stands are being shut down. Who knows the real answers.

   6 years ago in  How can i get from florida to new york

  Take the AutoTrain

  "The best way to drive I-95? Don't. Load your stuff in your car, load your car on the Auto Train and let the train take the strain. Say goodbye to the congestion and stress of the interstate, unwind, relax and actually enjoy your journey.

  The Auto Train transports you and your car (or van, motorcycle, SUV, small boat, jet-ski or other recreational vehicle) nonstop from the Washington, DC area to sunny Florida, just outside of Orlando. This is the best way to drive I-95 without even driving. And remember, you can pack your car as if it were your suitcase."

   6 years ago in  Is UberXL for IKEA a viable option? Do drivers mind? Any extra charges for big items?

  Just rent a car from U-Haul.  They charge by the hour, and can be like $20.   

  or go to a local Home Depot.  They usually have a truck for rental.  Super easy to rent, and they charge like $18 plus mileage.

   6 years ago in  Lyft thinking about implementing "Zen Mode"

  Quiet mode is a good idea.  They can easily implement this feature.  I had a chatty driver from Indy downtown to the airport. It was 5:45 and I had 3.5 hours of sleep. Then a chatty driver.  The app proudly told me he is known for his praised interactions and having great stories.  Sigh

   6 years ago in  RIDEGURU GIVEAWAY! Win $200 to Amazon!

  Actually, no. They had a 90% stake at one point, but they sold it off.

  The burger chain made an investment in Chipotle in 1998 that helped it grow from 14 locations to nearly 500 within seven years. By 2005, McDonald's had a 90% stake in Chipotle's business. But one year later, McDonald's divested its stake and parted ways with the fledglingburrito chain.May 22, 2015

  What's wrong with Chipotle.  Love their food.

  Now, if it were McDonald's..   actually, that'd be as good as cash.  I know we all eat there, even the snobs. (they just don't admit it)

   6 years ago in  What are Electric Scooters?

  I though we all learned our lesson when Uber came around breaking all rules and ignoring rules and regulations.  Here we go again.

  This scooter thing is like running with scissors; we all know some people are gonna get hurt.  I just saw three people riding a single scooter on Long Beach.  It's a total crap show.  They aren't using it to get to places.  It was just a sport.

   6 years ago in  Do Lyft AMP Light (or Uber Beacon) really get you more tips from passengers?

  You qualify for one (for free) after 500 rides.  and it isn't 500 a month.

  At least that's what I was told.  I guess you just have to show your commitment.  Then I believe you can keep it regardless of whether you drive or not.

  Missing the point.  Legal or not, fee or not, we all should wear them.  They save lives.

  What's wrong with all you posters.  This is 2018.  Don't you know the danger of not wearing a seatbelt?  You need to watch some of those horrifying training videos where people die so easily when tossed outside of a car.  It's no joke.

  No, dude.  he isn't really an uber driver.  Whatever that photo is is a publicity stunt.

  Also, that article says that he discovers how hard it is to be an Uber driver.  Isn't that like an counterexample of him being an Uber driver.

   6 years ago in  Hey drivers. Radio on or radio off?

  I would imagine music services like Sirius and Spotify are popular among drivers. I mean you get your worth out of it for all the hours you drive. 

  Plus it must be tax deductible.
