  Are Uber drivers known to keep the meter running (after the ride)? Do they? and how?

   5 years ago in  Drunk girl trying to be taken advantage of

  I have problem with the phrasing of this.  This girl was certainly not trying to be taken advantage of.  No one does. I feel like this puts the blame on the girl.

  In fact, no one can intentionally be taken advantage. If someone is trying, then he or she automatically isn't. Ha!

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

  You know what. I do see your point. As long as there’s no neglect in maintaining their vehicle, I agree I shouldn’t blame the driver. 

  There was a thread elsewhere about the car running out of gas. What about that.

  While I have empathy for the driver, but you wouldn’t expect that to be a 5-star ride, would you?

  Aren't there free charging stations everywhere these days?  Like at grocery stores and corporate office parking lots. I always see them, and I assumed they were free. So keep charging it at other people's places and you'd be all set.  no?  Free fuel? I mean, Uber drivers can be anywhere, right?

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

  An automatic one-star would be if the driver couldn't do ONE thing he is supposed to do. Get me to my destination and safely. 

  All my Uber trip has successfully gotten me to the destination, but I would assume this isn't always the case. Say in an accident or the driver getting pulled over.  or run out of gas or break-down on the way.

  Automatic 1-star.

   6 years ago in  With Lyft Express drive, I see its states that if enough rides are provided ...

  Wait, I didn't even know this about those rental programs.  So you are saying that they reimburse you for the difference if they don't get you enough rides?

  Doesn't this mean Lyft will prioritize you to get your more fares?  ...over other drivers?  Is this some conspiracy stuff or does everyone know this?

  Just to be clear, this is Lyft not Uber.    Maybe readers got bored clicking on Uber drivers did X, so writers turned to Lyft drivers did Y.

   6 years ago in  Uber wants to be able to detect if you are drunk BEFORE they match you with a driver.

  They should implement this for the driver first. itll be easy. Just piggy it back with the identity check, the selfie checker.  Just breath into the sensor on the phone.

   6 years ago in  Will I be charged for the distance traveled by the driver to come pick me up?

  Valid point, but I feel like I should be warned. I do'nt like it how it gives me no choice.  The guru above says 8 to 10 minutes, but it's vague and it only applies in certain cities. So how will I ever know?

  wait, does it warn me?

   6 years ago in  Will I be charged for the distance traveled by the driver to come pick me up?

  Long pickup fees are scary and unfair for riders.  I will never know how far the drivers who accept my requests are.  The app shows how long the estimated wait time is but it doesn't know for sure until I actually submit the request.   

  This means that the app may say 5 minutes, but if someone from 10 minutes away accepts, I can get screwed with pickup fees.

   6 years ago in  Do taxi and Uber drivers feel angry when customers use GPS map during their rides?

  I do it but I hide it.  I mean, it's a total breach of trust.  We are having a chat and heaven forbid my phone says, "Turn left in 200feet."  Gasp!  So embarassing. (And it's happened to me before.

   6 years ago in  How do female Uber drivers stay safe?

  This is a tough one, because you don't know when you are being called to when you accept a ride. The same is true with the destination as Uber no longer displays it on the app.  (and the passenger can always change his or her mind.)  

  Perhaps only working during the days may be best if you are worried.

  Yeah?  UberXL is UberX.  It just has an extra L on it.

  Uber SUV is... like UberBlack SUV.  Uber Black XL, if you will.  OK, I may just have confused myself.

   6 years ago in  When do surges typically happen? When are surge times?

  It's more to do with when there is a sudden "surge" of rider requests and the driver supply cannot keep up with it.  So, it can happen anytime anywhere...whenever this scenario occurs.  

  So it can happen at events like sporting events, conventions, etc.  not so much to do with the times.
