   6 years ago in  Hurricane Riding compensation

  See, PR and the impression this leaves on people will matter. 

  Uber got into trouble for this multiple times where the surge kicked in during emergency situations, and people got dinged with 10x.  I can't remember the vents, but it was the sign that their system was working; people were asking and there weren't enough drivers out.

  It's just bad press.

   6 years ago in  Lyft says absolutely "no weapons", but isn't that a bit vague? Can I bring a Swiss Army Knife?

  So, basically everythng.

  It's ambiguous at the same time they list a bunch of stuff that ironically confuses the situation. What about pepper sptray?  What about forks?

  Great response.  I think they will be on the US shores before the end of 2019.  Uber is targetting to IPO before that happens for sure.

   6 years ago in  Explaining the rating system

  Dunno.  I don't think that'll be nearly as interesting.  It'll have a nice scale for stars from drivers, but passengers?  I hear many of them don't even know they are being rated. LOL.

   6 years ago in  Lyft charge different fares same route?

  This was a big deal in the past, and it still should be a big deal now.  I feel like we stupid customers have athe tendency to forget.  We get distracted by something else and we no longer question the funny things happening here.

  Lyft is gauging people by doing their version of upfront pricing.  They are quoting people prices based not on their pricing model but charging whatever people are willing to pay.

  So you will be judged by who you are, how much you have, and where you live.

   6 years ago in  How do I delete my ride history from my Uber app? I want to remove my past trips. There has to be a way.

  That's more of a data rentention concern, but displaying them to you is not breaking any privacy rules.

  With that said, they did make it so the drivers cannot see the exact locations and addresses of where they picked up and dropped off.  At least for the more recent rides.

  No, I'm not doubting you. (Even though that seems super high to me.) I just am very curious and wondering what it's like in other cities.
