  If you were the new CEO of Uber, with absolute power, what would be the first thing you'd change?

  I am asking the current Uber drivers, but anyone's welcome.

   5 years ago in  Jim Cramer: Lyft's IPO Lockup Expiration Could Open the Floodgates

  They say this every time a company goes public with a large volume of stock options. The potential sales is all considered in the IPO price as well as analysts' forecasts. An article like this gets clicks and it's basically customary for journalists to release these every time a high-profile IPO happens.

  Well, she does have the right to ask. ;) The driver may say no, but she can still verbalize the request.

   5 years ago in  Uber app clone?

  Well, for one, to improve the current taxi companies. They still exist, you know. :)

  One major area of this industry people look over is the over-bloated dispatching services. These phone-based call centers are inefficient and no one likes them. 

  With an Uber like app, maybe smaller taxi markets (maybe those without Uber) can equip themselves better.

   5 years ago in  Some Uber and Lyft drivers say they were misled into petitioning against their own worker rights. [Recode]

  I don't think they "signed" anything.  It was some cleverly situated popups and buttons those drivers pressed.  That's their argument.

   5 years ago in  Would You Settle With Uber For $0.11 A Mile?

  Well, Uber had to protect themselves, right? Think these scenarios

  - The driver signs up but only works few hours a day.

  - The driver is out on the road but only in secluded areas where there's no demand.

   5 years ago in  Will Uber pay the ticket violation? Like traffic tickets and citations

  What about all those parking tickets? They seem to be piled up while they are delivering packages in downtown Chicago. I mean, that's just understood, right? They obviously do that because it'd be cheaper to pay the tickets than actually paying for parking.

   5 years ago in  Will Uber and Lyft raise fares? Will they merge? Your opinions/thoughts?

  Yes, the business and how they'll run it will change at the time of IPO.  Before IPO, the goal was to GROW.  Artificially keep the rates low and get the rides to sign up.  After IPO, the goal will be to make money. 

  The fight over the market share between Lyft and Uber will not be over, but both companies will be required and under pressure to show their investors they can make money...and best of all profits.

  They can't do that at the current rates. We all know that.

   5 years ago in  Can I use an uber or lyft to go from terminal 1 over to terminal 5 at O’hare ...

  This would ding the driver so hard. They wait in the queue for so long and they would get a $3 ride from one terminal to another. Ha! You'd also incur an airport usage fee.  I don't think this is a good idea.

  I heard about O'Hare having some issues with their people movers. I thought they are providing continuous shuttle buses.  I didn't realize there restricted hours. https://www.flychicago.com/ohare/ServicesAmenities/services/Pages/ATS.aspx

  The O’Hare Airport Transit System (ATS or “people mover) is closed 24/7 to finalize modernization efforts and expansion of the sytem.

  In order to maintain a travel connection between all of O’Hare’s terminals and parking lots, the CDA will operate shuttle buses to transport passengers and employees between terminals (Terminals 1, 2, 3 and 5) and from the terminals to each economy parking lot (Lots E, G, H); the Multi-Modal Facility, where rental cars are housed; and the Metra O’Hare Transfer station. The buses will operate continuously to ensure prompt and reliable service while the ATS is closed.

  If connecting between domestic Terminals 1, 2 & 3, you DON’T have to take the shuttle buses, you can walk. Simply follow in-airport signage.

  The CDA is committed to providing a quick and reliable bus shuttle service as the ATS modernization is finalized. The new ATS is scheduled to open Fall 2019.

   6 years ago in  I need drivers help. Long Pick up fee issues with Uber. Need clarification.

  Well, you know why it isn't. It's because if a driver knows that there will be a long pickup fee, he or she will spend a long time driving around just to score a higher pay.

  All you guys are assuming this was a vulnerable frail 87 year old, but he could have been a large, strong brute.  I mean, this looks like a tough intimidating man.  

  "What happened next is a matter of dispute. The driver says Kayserman berated and threatened him. Kayserman dismisses the notion."

  I actually believe the driver in this case.  See, the age isn't the issue here.
