  Hey passengers. What creative amenities or extras do you wish your UberX drivers offered?

  Water, gum, mints, umbrella, ponchos, aux cable, and charging cables. I have heard those.  Anything extra you want? I am …

   5 years ago in  Summarily fired by Uber after they (falsely) claimed I altered documents. No recourse.

  Uber: you are guilty until proven innocent. 

  In fact, you are always guilty.  Why? Because we said so.

   5 years ago in  Sting on Uber drivers picking up street hails

  Can't this be classified as two friends who decided to make an arrangement, and one person just paying the other person as a thank-you?

  All you have to do is to pull Forest Gump and introduce yourself to the passenger.  "We ain't strangers no more."

  Sorry, bro. That’s pretty crappy because one thing that’s supposed to be great about then is that you can reserve them. That’s a total fail.

   5 years ago in  Uber plans to kick off IPO in April!

  Way behind Lyft. How can they drop the ball like this. 

  Now there will be a precedence with Lyft by the time they go public. If lyft gets crushed then itll kill all the excitement and ruin the hype  

  Of course those who’ll lose are the loaded private equity firms, investors, etc. none that we care about. So whatever.

  So you rented their car in 2017 and you are still dealing with this?

  Also, you say, "last year." You better get on that or everyone will claim they don't remember the incident and you will never be able to reverse it. I feel like speed matters here.

   5 years ago in  Can I request a female Uber driver? (I'm female and would feel more safe)

  Why would people request for dudes?  Oh, that was a serious question but I now realize people who think men are better drivers would.  I am not sure if that really crosses people's mind, but then again, maybe I am giving them too much credit.

  So are you in the camp of people who believe "Can I request a female driver" is just as sexist and discriminatory?

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

  Wow, that's a lot of miles. It's definitely 10s of thousands for me.  A few hundred thousands return? I'd take it.

  I mean, if I don't, then what? It's not like they'd treat me like an employee back to 2013. Even if they did, why would I want that?

   5 years ago in  Has any drivers out there received an Email to join Lyft's Snow Team? Your thoughts? Was this around last year or is it new?

  They are starting to get real weird about keeping drivers on the road. Whatever happened to the classic supply-and-demand model where they controlled the # of drivers through surges. 

  I miss those simpler times.

   5 years ago in  Here's the proof: Uber drivers are ripping off its customers [Who's Driving You?]

  ripping off?  Uber is so cheap compared to taxis.  Taxis still hasn't lowered their rates. What are they talking about.

  I think they have it mistaken.  Uber is ripping off its drivers. Not consumers.  Consumers are reaping the benefits of subsidized rides.

  It’s a gig economy. You work when you wanna. Doesn’t change anything for me. 

  I did hear that the drivers are hurting in places like DC, Albany, and Sacramento where the government has big presence.

   5 years ago in  What's the 2 stop rule on Uber? Is it the same with Lyft? Are we not allowed to stop more than twice?

  If you are stopping more than 2 along the way, I think you are doing it wrong.

  I mean, an UberX can only fit four people. So really, you can never stop more than 3 times to pick up passengers, and that seems like an extreme case. Heck, if you really have three friends you want to pick up, I will do it. Good for you for having so many friends. What a coordination!

  I am sure this kid was instructed to not touch the protestors, until...  Then when he saw it happen, he didn't exericse any brain cells and just decided to take him out completely. 

  Look at the smug look on his face. A smile even.

  No, dude. 4.34 is awful. Some drivers shun and decline pickup if you are below 4.50

   5 years ago in  What's a typical passenger rating for Uber? Is 4.50 good?

  4.2 on 10 rides mean you got two 1-star ratings.  Could just be bad luck.

  In AU and NZ, they are thinking about deactivating riders with anything lower than  4.0.  So you are still safe!

   5 years ago in  Uber Instant Pay Glitch. What are your thoughts on the "compensation"?

  Uber is so good at releasing things in phases, why couldn't they have done that here?  Work out the kinks in a localized market.  This payment glitch is a pretty big blunder.

  One may say this is just Silicon Valley start-up, but we are talking about people's livelihood, folks.
