Uber scheduled rides price? How much is the fare? Are there fees?

Can a Uber drive operating and driving in New Jersey (NJ) pick up in NYC or New York State?
I live in Hoboken, and I would like to drive an Uber. I'd love to be able to pick up …
so, basically the short answer is it depends on if the cause of refudn was the driver's fault or not.
Trying to follow the math. So do you make $24 an hour? Is that what it comes down to?
I heard from a friend Uber driver this interesting tidbit. Drivers definitely lose money on certain rides, and a good portion of all the rides end up losing them money. You just have to make up for those loses by making sure to have good rides, that are longer and maybe under surge.
...and this is why the seasoned drivers who can cherry pick (or at least know when, where, and how to work) can make good profits but others don't.
I hope he is successfully driving an Uber now.
Uber and Lyft are great, so I commend them for that, but I agree that the way they bullied and played the game was just not right. Didn't bother to follow the regulations knowing that people would look away and figured it'd take the market years to react or do anything about it (they were right).
sad really.
Are we bringing back the medallion system? All that hoopla for the last few years and Ubers will just be taxis all over again? Then we will repeat the same mistake we did with the taxi industry.
It was like the purge of the taxi drivers, because if this is the direction we are going, Uber drivers will just be medallion/license carrying workers just like taxi drivers were.
I think Uber entertained this idea in the past. However, they deemed it too difficult to implement. Imagine the complexity in the ordering process? How does a pax request a higher rated drivers and pay/offer more money? What if they aren't available? Do they have to specifically have to ask for cheaper and worse drivers if they wanted a barain?
sure, man. awesome. you do you.
Who the heck sits in the front seat? That's just weird.
I think there are many challenges:
Do black people not take Lyft because drivers are racist? like ShadyPete?
I didn't know this was a thing.
Can you just pretend that you picked up the rider and start drving?
I know there are people who are against tips in general or just the concept of it. I can see their argument on how the rates should be set to cover all costs and it shouldn't be pushed down to the passengers, etc. Then the drivers argue they aren't getting paid. Then people say that's not their problem, maybe it's Uber's.
However, I think everyone is forgetting one important thing about tipping. It's meant to be there to reward the person for a job well done. This is why you see it most often in the service industry.
Uber and Lyft driving is a service and some drivers can do a good job and some won't. The amount of tip should reflect that. Am I the only person who thinks people are blowing this discussion to unnecessary levels?
That's why you gotta be all chill about it and make comments like, "we get there when we get there." "The baby will come when it wants to." And "oh that, she likes to fake it."
are taxis who are administered by the city public transportation? no, I am really wondering.
Right. They can charge anything they want, which means no more deals. Someone told me about the example of trips between Heathrow and London. You pretty much have no choice except a car service and maybe the train. Well, they won't charge those friendly uberX prices for those.
I can already see the stolen and abandoned vehicles in a pile in the back of a shady parking lot.
they had the same problem with shared bicycles where people just tossed them all over the place.
So if they wear a t-shrit and jeans, they are not respecting you? or that they aren't proud of their jobs?
I will admit, I can never keep UberSUV and UberXL separate. I get the UberBlack and UberX. That's easy. but SUV and XL? Come on. Call UberSUV a UberBlackXL or UberBlackSUV. UberXL is...UberXXL? No, wait.
