  Why don't I just get the phone number of the dude and call him?

  It happens all the time, right?

   4 years ago in  Uber deactivation

  It probably says in the contract they don't need a reason.  Employers often do not have to give a reason for terminating employment.  They call it an at-will employment. Most states and most businesses can claim this.  (unions are a different story, of course)

  This makes me sad. You can do what you want in your own house and as long as it doesn't affect anyone else. Please go NOT wear your mask elsewhere.

   4 years ago in  Is it safe for Uber Women Drivers to drive after midnight?

  Why only at nights? A few female drivers that I know say that the easiest way to stay safe is to avoid certain hours like nights.

  Location I also heard is key. Airports is a good idea. Not many crooks or drunks there.

  They don't care. They already made their billions of dollars and cashed out.  The current investors are the stupid public or those with very long-term outlook.

   5 years ago in  Drivers. Is it acceptable to call an Uber or Lyft to drive me a few blocks (say less than a mile) so I can get home safely?

  22 seems high, but I drive in the city. Most are 3~5 miles. Then again, I am in Manhattan.

  Some NJ trips can be 30+ miles, sure.

   5 years ago in  Elderly passenger can't walk far + long distance to pickup location at airports

  This is so true at so many airports now. The designated rideshare areas are often make-shift locations in the parking garage, and you have to walk so far. They are often even shared by multiple terminals too.

  I was just at Boston, Austin, and Providence airports, and all of them we had to snake all over.  In Boston in Terminal C, the rideshare area is literally outside with no roof!

  I am not sure if I have a good suggestion.  You may need to rely on a regular taxi service or bite the bullet and order a limo service.

  If you didn’t see a sign, how did you know your audio was being recorded?

  Thank you for posting this.

  I actually heard somewhere that when someone gets out of prison, the guards and counselors suggest they go driver Uber (historically taxis).  It makes sense. The job interview is with your app and you speak to no one.  (And no criminal check)

  It’s the days full of glitches and holes in their campaigns that real wild things would happen.  You can get whack-out returns.  You’d see 10x surges (in some countries they claimed to have seen 50x) and crazy pricing.
