  I Think you actually get that metal medallion.  You know those things pasted to the back of the trunk.

  I would use it as a mantle.  or a hood ornament of my Uber.  LOL.  I am such an ass.

   6 years ago in  Do Uber and Lyft travel between Tyringham MA and Dalton MA for AT hikers

  Believe it or not, Western Mass actually has significant number of drivers.  Many says it's oversaturated.  Springfield, MA is full of Ubers and Lyft drivers.

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

  Police Baton.  Yes, I had a police baton left in my car once.   I drove around with it for half a day, and only noticed when a passenger pointed it out.  The guy (I'd imagine a police officer?  plain clothed though) never contacted me so it's still in my trunk to this day.  

  I hope I won't need it.

   6 years ago in  Are Uber drivers allowed to have a camera or a dashcam? Is it legal to record passengers?

  Hells yeah, it's legal to record your own car.  Why is this even a question.  If you can't record your car what can I record?

   6 years ago in  How are Uber passengers and Lyft passengers different?

  Yes, my own research and talking to other drivers.  No clipboard needed.  100% of Lyft passengers have been white for me.  Sorry.  I am just stating the fact.

   6 years ago in  How are Uber passengers and Lyft passengers different?

  Lyft passengers are overwhelmingly white.   I have verified this in Philly, Baltimore, and Boston.    More students too.

  Anyone have stats on race demographics?

   6 years ago in  Can Uber drivers enter private and gated communities?

  Is it too much to ask for the pax to come out to the outside of the gate?  I am just saying if it's that strict,  you know?

   6 years ago in  Can I ask the the Uber driver not to accept anymore riders on an UberPool? (or LyftLine)

  I do not like the intent here.  You are asking how to cheat the system and not pay as much.  You are doing this to get a lower rate but you do not want to share the ride with anyone.  That is wrong.

  It's super selfish.  Just call an UberX.

   6 years ago in  As a driver, have you kicked out a passenger? Ended a ride early mid-trip?

  I had a guy a month ago at Fells Point who was belligerent drunk and kept kicking the back of my seat.  I really have no idea why some people are total assholes and think this is ok.  We didn't have an argument or anything.  He just thought it was funny.

  I first say, "Hey, can you stop that."  he doesn't.  I heard him chuckle.  It escalates to him using his hands to bang on the seat.  That's when I point at the dashcam and says, "I am recording all of these behaviors.  I can take you to the police now or you get out."

  He got out, slammed the door, and called me all kinds of names as I drove off and then banged twice very loud on my trunk.  Gosh, do you see what we deal with?

   6 years ago in  So which is it, drivers? Do you like vomiting passengers or what?

  WAT.  Is this really the impression on the streets? Here we are claiming the current vomit clean-up fees are too low, and people are thinking we are trying to make people throw up.  What is going on?

  When someone pukes, it's not just the cleaning up that costs money.  It's the time off the clock as we cannot drive another passenger until it is completely cleaned up and the smell is gone.  This can be hours, and in most cases the shift is over.  and that's a shift usually on a lucrative day like Friday or Saturday night.
