   6 years ago in  Are there code of conduct between rideshare drivers? Secret rules, commonsense manners, etc.? Do you guys even get along or is there competition?

  4.97, impressive. Never seen one that high ever.  Not even close.

  This is a bit off topic, but drivers with higher ratings shuold be qualified for higher fares/rates.  Instead of leaning on the undefined tip system to work, won't this work to motivate drivers to do their jobs better?

  Hard to argue with real life examples.  Crumbles on the seats and water bottles strewn all over the back.  

  Good point on how it may be increase the star- ratings but how it may not lead to more tips.

   6 years ago in  Passengers. What circumstances would you give a one-star rating to an Uber or Lyft driver?

  There are two instances I wanted to give one-star ratings, but neither time I could, because I wasnt' the passenger. 

  Once was when the dude never showed up at my door, but kept telling me he was on his way.   Then after like 15 minutes, he texts me and says his car is broken down so I should cancel the ride. What the hell.  I am not an expert on how the cancellation charges would be applied, but I felt it was his way of making me pay the fee.   I could never rate him though.

  The other was when I was in NY Midtown.  I was waiting for my Uber, and this Black driver kept harassing me to get on his car.  I knew it wasn't my car.  I started to ignore him, but when he realized he isn't getting me on this car, he peeled off almost clipping me and my suitcase.  I tried to report him to Uber, but I didn't have his license plate, and apparently there are millions of Uber Black drivers in Manhattan.

  Gavin Escolar - Filipino guy that drives and sells his jewlery while driving passengers.  Supposedly makes $250,000 a year.

  Am I cheating if I bring up people who didn't make money directly off of driving?

   6 years ago in  As an UberX driver, do you provide gum, mints, water, charger to your passengers?

  Guys...mints are cheap.  A box of mints is like $1.50 and thre are like 30 of them inside.  That's like a nickel.  water?  Get a huge box at costco.  probably turns out to be like $0.10 each.  i bet your increasedpay chek will warrany for that $0.15 uptick in expenses per ride.

  i don't really understand how this feature works.  Do I put it in the preference how long I am willing to wait for my rides?  or do I type that in every time?  Is it an yes/no question I get ?  So many questions.

  Tokyo.  Yeah, you know what?   They are ugly.  I think this one is meant to look like some of their subways though.

   6 years ago in  How can a passenger reject a driver after you have been paired and the ride accepted?

  What if we match up the good drivers to the bad drivers?  If they suck as riders, they shouldn't have access to the good drivers.  What if we make it so if your rating is 4.6, you cannot have a driver higher than a 4.6 or something.
