  What do you do if your seemingly under-age passenger (i.e. minor) refuses to show you his or her ID?

  If you ask someone underage, they will know you are checking to see if they should deny you the ride. …

   5 years ago in  Uber Passengers Begin to Feel the Sting of Low Ratings [Ridester.com]

  I don't know, guys. I don't really see the riders caring until Uber starts penalizing the customers for it.

  but I have a feeling Uber won't do anything to paying customers.

   5 years ago in  Uber and Lyft's New Surge Pricing (and PrimeTime) Schemes - Watch out!

  I hope the passengers see that this is BS.  They are paying the inflated prices and the money isn't even coming to the drivers.

  At this point, driver and passenger should just cancel Uber trip and then come up with our own arrangement without surge.

  It's time to stand up together!

  Why can't we all just get along.  Empathize with each other, and help each other out.  We are all in this together.  Such a bummer that the dude gave you one-star for that. 

  The police officer probably just thought 3 was "normal".  People in those professions (like military) don't sugarcoat things, and I bet he probably thought he was giving "average."

  Very nice.  This needs to be placed in every doctor's office.  I mean in every Uber cabin

  I disagree on one thing though.  Passenger's take on 1-star?  I think that's more for

  - "My driver was drunk" or

  - "Dropped me off in  middle of a highway.

  or, my favorite

  - "I just didn't like the guy."

   5 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?

  Yes, we get along fine, thank you. LOL.

  To be honest, I don't even know a single other driver.

   5 years ago in  non emergency medical vehicle driving jobs in NYC

  Yeah, I have heard that non-emergency medical drivers is a hot thing right now.  Don't you need special licensing, experience, and training as you will be treating elderlies and patients?  I looked into it a few years ago, but I gave up because it seemed a bit complex.

   5 years ago in  What do you do if a passenger pulls a weapon on you while driving an Uber?

  I shudder to think about it.  Most other respondents are saying just give them what they want, but I am a female and what they want could be much worse than money or my car. :(

  I guess one thing I can do is to slam on the brakes and see if I can hurt the attacker (who I assume would not be strapped in).  It's sad I resort to that  though.

  i do carry a mace and exercise caution.  I could potentially try to open a cell phone line with someone (I have on standby while I am on the job), but I know it's difficult to prepare for this.

   5 years ago in  What is something a rider will do in the first minute that set off red flags?

  So I figured this out. well, one pax told me.  It's in the psychology of people who have their guards up.  People who are afraid to get taken for a ride.

  They do that to prove you know the roads, so they want to sound all smart.

   5 years ago in  Uber/Lyft Driver livestreams all his passengers, exposing secrets and mocking women's bodies

  Agreed, man.  Look at this loose blanket rule from Lyft:

  "Kate Margolis, a Lyft spokeswoman, sent Ars a similar statement: "All drivers on the Lyft platform are required to follow applicable local laws and regulations, including with regard to the use of any recording device. You can find our policy here on Lyft's safety page.""

   5 years ago in  Is driving from 9-5 a pipedream for an Uber driver?

  I found this post, and i am a new driver, and I've been trying the 8 to 4 thing.  I made literally $90 in four days of "working."  It's been demoralizing.   

  Uber is so misleading.  It's incredible.  I do understant that there are drivers out there making a lot of money, but they probably work crazy hours or work the odd hours.  Uber offers money AND flexibility, but it sounds like you can only have one.
