   3 years ago in  Why would it be cheaper to get a Spanish speaking driver (Uber Espanol) or wheelchair access (WAV)?

  or they felt guilty screwing people in wheelchairs

  and they know to pay Mexican drivers less. That's just the Uber way.

   4 years ago in  Uber Vehicles are breeding grounds for Covid-19 - Think about it. Uber needs an improved process.

  You can protect yourself by opening the window once you get into the car. The driver must allow you to do this. As BenRosen states, this apparently is the guideline for the riders too.

  Now, once it gets super cold, I don't know what we do.

   5 years ago in  Bird lost 100 million in the first quarter, but it's a unicorn

  The question is how they lost the money. Was it due to the investments in R&D and expansion?  Or is it because their pricing just simply doesn’t support the economics. 

  If it’s the latter, this industry is doomed.  Or at the least they need to jack up the price

   5 years ago in  Why are taxis cheaper than Uber or Lyft in some areas?

  What? Where are taxis cheaper than Uber or Lyft? I’ve never heard of that happening. 

  Or perhaps in some cities, maybe the new ones, Uber and Lyft are raising prices. They already won the battle. It’s times to claim their prize by jacking up prices to anything they want to.

   5 years ago in  Lyft drags down Uber IPO - $120B is more like $91B

  I was going to make fun of how it’s still a lot of money, but isn’t this the same valuation as a few years ago when SoftBank invested in them like a $1B?

  “It also suggests Uber knew fake drivers were preying on women but did nothing to warn customers.”

  I agree fake drivers can be anybody. It’s literally people Uber doesn’t know. Complete strangers. How can they be responsible for them?

   5 years ago in  Uber Pool

  You’d be surprised whom you get hitched up with. 

  Also, remember, it can make multiple stops. You and someone else can be picked up at BWI and then have two drop-offs. That’s still considered as a pool. (And you only pay for your portion of the trip.)

  Or you get picked up at BWI and then someone else be picked up elsewhere.  The you can make one or two drops.

  I didn’t know they are having second thoughts. What do you mean they’re sitting on the fence?  Did they delay their decision?

  What I remember is that they proposed this dynamic rule on how the fares be calculated that has various factors like number of drivers and rides that are given out and to pay drivers by the hour where the floor is predetermined.

  We probably don't havet he whole truth here as I have a feeling this guy simply "simply wanted to drop a petition and leave." After the fact, of course he would say that.

   6 years ago in  What do Uber drivers think of earning up to $100/month extra for advertising inside the car?

  Wasn't there another service that does this.  Like Octopus and VuGo or something.  Free for drivers but they advertise on the car.

   6 years ago in  Can you select the gender of the operator?

  If this happened, all female drivers would be busy 100% of the time. Not saying hats wrong, but if they implemented surge on UberFemale, those female drivers would cost 10x at all times.  

  Yeah, discrimination wil be an issue. You are discriminating against male drivers on how more work goes to females and against female riders who may need to pay more or have the service be more scarce.

   6 years ago in  My Uber driver charged me a wait time... Wait for what?

  The answer is yes...  However, when you put it that way...  yeah, that's kinda bullsh*t.  I'd be mad too.

  but that's compared to the announced arrival time. I don't think it's common for the driver to show up sooner than the GPS's expected time.
