   4 years ago in  Any Drivers testing "Taco Mode" for Lyft in their market?

  It’ll fail by pure economics. Taco Bell is literally the cheapest food available and are sold at still very slim margin. How can hand delivering it ever make sense.

   4 years ago in  How do food deliverers (like UberEats and DoorDash) find parking?

  At some busy restaurants or larger restaurants, they have UberEats specified parking spots now.  Super nice.  Applebee's have all kinds of parking now.  Handicap parking, ToGo parking (Curbside Pickup), and now GrubHub spot.

  Changing times.  Soon, the food establishments will go the route of brick and mortar retail stores.

  What’s this sting for? For the sake of taxi drivers who actuslly can?

  Or is it for the sake of Uber who wants a piece of the revenue

   5 years ago in  RIDERS BEWARE!!! Make sure you know you are getting in the correct car. Please read article.

  I find it interesting that Uber gets in trouble for their drivers doing stupid things and also gets into trouble for non-Uber drivers doing stupid things.

   5 years ago in  My driver told me he gets lots of texts from people telling him to hurry up (upon pickup). Is this really true?

  I think you properly used the no show. That’s exactly how it’s supposed to be used.

   5 years ago in  It's time to call Rideshare what it is: Taxi

  NO.  This industry has been calling it wrong this whole time anyways.  "rideshares" always existed.  It's about people sharing rides.  Not cars.  Not with professional drivers.  Uber borrowed that term and it stuck.

   5 years ago in  How is Lyft's surge different than Uber's?

  Perhaps the better question is which one has more surges and pays more.  Does anyone know?

   5 years ago in  Poor Uber Support

  Honestly, I can't even find their phone number.  

  They have like a new hotline, where you message them and they are supposed to call you back, but it never has worked.  Dead serious.  I got some texts from some foreign person, and when I responded, I got some automated messages back.  It's VERY weird.    Did they grow too fast?  How's their 180-day to change going?  LOL.

   5 years ago in  What is the weirdest thing a passenger left in your car (Uber, Lyft, etc.)?

  I wonder why no other passenger pointed it out.  Maybe they thought it was yours and for your protection.

  A bit weird to find something like that though.  I mean for other passengers who got on after.

   5 years ago in  Uber testing out new feature that let's you know when rides will be cheaper

  Yeah, I think the understanding is that it just popups and offers you a discount. I don't think it's like a real feature that you access or invoke proactively.

   5 years ago in  Can I schedule multiple Uber rides in advance? Say, if I already have a schedule ride for next week, but I want to schedule another for tomorrow.

  I was also able to break the app when I was testing it.  I tried booking something for 3:00PM and another for 2:55PM, and, even though I got a confirmation in the app, I never saw the 2:55 PM entry appear.

  I tried again for 2:55PM, and then I got an error.

  Then I checked my Inbox, and I saw a bunch of confirmations saying they were booked but then when I opened some of them, it had "None" shown for pickup times.  

  I cancelled all the rides under "My Trips", but I wonder it they will all show up now.  Scary.

   5 years ago in  When is Didi Chuxing coming to the US?

  Look at how secret Didi kept the Mexico involvement.  I assume Didi is already hiring and working on landing on the shores of USA.

  Of course, they may need to figure out some of the conflict of interests that may arise while expanding into America.  For example, LYFT.  They own a big chunk and have had partnership with them.  So what happens now?

   5 years ago in  What's Lyft's policy on dogs and other pets on an Lyft ride?

  yet another company who answers all questions by "it's per driver discretion."

  Is this lazy and absolves them from liability?   or is it more that they cannot dictate due to the drivers being indepdent drivers?
