   6 years ago in  Do famous people and celebrities use Uber with their actual real names?

  I drive in NYC, and I will tell you, more and more people are using only initials for their first names.  like, "J" and "K."   Needless to say, finding a "K" in the crowd is not easy.

  So, I assume celebrities probably don't use their real names either. Even if I saw "T Hanks", I am not sure I'd realize that it's Tom.

   6 years ago in  Lots of Driver Scams - Watch out, passengers!

  This isn't realy a scam, but I know a few suburbian drivers who has the Uber app on while inside the house.  Only when there is a request, they put their pants on, jump in the car, and go grab that request.

   6 years ago in  As a driver, have you ever arrived for pickup and then decided to refuse/cancel the ride?

  I am sure other drivers would agree on this one.

  Bar closing times, there are ALWAYS groups that are too large who attempt to cram into the car.  I show up in my 4-seater (i.e. UberX), there are like 6 of them, and they all look blankly at each other, and they all TRY to get in thinking it's ok, as long as they can fit.  A drunk girl offers to sit on a boy's lap, and then another lying across the others.  

  I have learned to cancel those rides immediately.  Definitely BEFORE the ride starts so they can't ding me on the review. Nothing but trouble, ya know?

   6 years ago in  Algorithm of Uber vs Grab

  I think you've definitely come to the right place, but I have no idea how the calculations work.  LOL.  Ignorance is bliss?

  I know it's based off of distance and duration with lots of other factors involved like surges and tolls and etc.   sorry, I am not being helpful.

   6 years ago in  Should you make out with someone in the backseat of the Uber? Will I get a lower rating?

  just like jbauer, I am a driver and heard and seen everything. I don't mean to sound gross, but all kinds of sounds and noises can be heard in the back.  

  I think the unwritten rule is to don't distract the driver and keep it somewhat calm.  Kissing should be alright, but nothing more...right?

  "Severity"?  that's hilarious.  

  Why don't you just blame the driver.  His word against your word.

  Wasn't there another thread about how there should be a "feature" for riders to request driver to NOT engage in conversations?

   6 years ago in  Can a Uber driver start the trip without the passenger in the car? ...and take an imaginary passenger for a ride to make money?

  Yes, this is technically possible.  Once we are at the location of the request, i.e. the pin, we can swipe "Start a Trip."

  No, the drivers wouldn't do this as it will guarantee a 1-star rating.  Also, the customer will complain and reverse the charge anyways.  Not worth it.
