  I didn't receive my cancellation fee from the rider who cancelled. What could be the reason? Uber of course isn't writing back. Did the rules change?

  I am not a new driver and I have gotten these fees before.  I noticed that the trip that was …

   5 years ago in  If I’m in an accident as a Uber / Lyft driver, what do I do for the best possible outcome?

  Checked out your site. What the heck is a Divvy?

  And naturally, I have to ask whether you support non-Uber, non-Lyft, now-Divvy clients. I assume you do.

   5 years ago in  Uber or Lyft for moving furniture?

  Good post.  It'd be useful to know where these companies and their services are available. Any in Philly?

  It's a fantastic idea though. There's so much free stuff out there only if I owned a truck!

   5 years ago in  As a Driver, will you buy Uber or Lyft stock when it becomes available?

  Yeah, with so much hype around their current valuation.  I am not sure if I will get much boost out of it. It's like Facebook when they went IPO. The valuation already had considered for all the growth. 

  The only thing saving it was that it hadn't monetized through ads yet.  Uber though?  Not sure how their revenue will be boosted once they go IPO.

  Yeah, that's the thing about robot drivers.  They can work 24/7 and never complain about being paid or tipped.

   5 years ago in  Airports have been hit by the rise of Uber and Lyft [Economist]

  $2.75 at Boston Logan Airport. That isn't a small fee considering it's 10% of the fare on a $30 ride.

  Airports make 100s of millions of dollars on "airport usage fees" or "pickup fees."  It's such a big business that some airports have exclusive contracts with taxi dispatchers and sometimes have their own taxi workforce!  (BWI Airport Taxi is an example)

   5 years ago in  If a driver uses Uber as a rider do you tip the driver or do you feel driver shouldn't expect tip as a courtesy?

  I wonder why this is the case. I feel like if a person is insecure enough to tell stories about his incredible finances, he can afford to pay a few bucks extra to enforce those stories.

  If it's a lie, then they should be okay with paying a few extras to double-down on the lie. LOL.

   5 years ago in  Has anyone ever shamed your job as a rideshare driver for Uber and Lyft?

  Most people aren't openly jerks, but sometimes you can tell they are jerks inside.

  Certain line of questioning reveals where their minds are at.  For example, they would ask questions like "How did you end up as an Uber driver?" or "Do you think AVs will replace your jobs?"

  Or just mentioning articles that we already know about. Say "Another Uber driver commits suicide for making too little money."

   5 years ago in  What non-monetary forms of compensation should/could Uber give to its drivers?

  It's talking about benefits, swags, free stuff.  Like t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, phone accessories, stuff like that.

  Maybe even medical benefits.  or free movie tickets.  all that stuff bigger normal employers would give to its people to boost morale.  :)

  I don't blame you for taking this as a joke because money is so important to us drivers that you can't even believe people would ask about non-money things.
