   5 years ago in  unable to schedule Uber in advance - why?

  Updating the app won’t do, try to uninstall and install the app, that may work. If it doesn’t, it’s probably an app glitch, Uber will fix it.

  Do you know that they rip you off on scheduled rides on both Uber and Lyft? Probably charge you 25% more than if you requested the ride when ready to go? Lyft’s scheduled rides work better in the pax app.

  You say you’re in a metropolitan area, there will be plenty of drivers around to pick you up unless it’s between 3-5 am even then you should be able to get a ride in less than 15 minutes.

  There are apps for kids like Zum and Hop, skip and drive but they're a lot more expensive than uber and Lyft hence parents use them. Like you said what kind of parent would trust their child to be in a car with a total stranger? Unbelievable!

  I agree with you 100%. Just like I've been saying that all employees of UBER and Lyft must drive at least for three months after they are hired to experience what drivers go through. They should test the algorithms they unleash on us as guinea pigs themselves.

  Hasn't happened yet to me, I have visions of getting busted by vice. Since it is your car and deal is being done by someone sitting in it, you'll probably be an accessory until you can explain yourself and Uber will deactivate you.

   5 years ago in  Uber and Lyft drivers, what makes you think "this is gonna be a long ride" when a passenger gets in?

  Avoiding sketchy areas of town is not necessarily a choice we have since we don't know the destination of the pax before accepting a ride. Inevitably, you'll end up there. It's what you do to get out, deadmile it or keep working. I don't try to avoid poverty areas, it actually surges more often due to other drivers avoiding those areas. Wal-Mart or Whole Foods, it doesn't matter, my answer was related to this specific thread of how a driver anticipates the next ride being a long one.

  Well done sir. Pax are in a subsidized fantasy land, they have no clue. They get ripped off by Uber and Lyft and they think drivers are swimming in cash not knowing UBER just took half what they paid. Of course no top.

   5 years ago in  Why don’t ride share passengers tip more often? Should tipping be made mandatory?

  It's not on the riders, it's social etiquette to tip. The same rider you just took to a bar or restaurant will be tipping at the end of the meal, enough said. Uber has a lot to do with rider education, they could easily make tipping a priority for the rider as opposed to hiding tipping behind 3 screens. Why do Lyft pax tip more often? Because tipping was an option from the first day. Uber on the other hand waited five years befire tipping in the app was introduced, they even said tips are included in TK days.

   5 years ago in  How can Uber and Lyft drivers complain and ask for more pay when these companies are unprofitable?

  Problem is that Passengers live in a subsidized fantasy land. The ride you pay $10 for should be priced at $25, albeit less than a cab by 25% not 75%. The winners out of this, top executives at UBER, early VC and the passengers. This is what happens when U/L are in a race to the bottom, sell a 50 cent hamburger for a nickel. 

  Don't come back with the typical, if you don't like it don't do it answer.

  Pax gets in, it's a 7 minute two mile ride, before hello they say do you have a charger, do you have an aux cord and start barking directions thinking they're better than Maps or Waze. That's a 7 minute ride in dog years, 49. Wow, I got life changing $2.62 out of it.

  Since the drivers are not previed to that information until they start the ride, experience comes into play. If you're picking up at Wal-Mart, you know they're not going to the airport. Some but not every time a ride will come in with a 30+45+60+ disclaimer, that would equate to a long ride if the traffic is good. However, in Los Angeles, 45+ could be a 5 mile ride in rush hour.
