  Wow, so San Fran is cracking down on this?  I guess they are trying to avoid the mistake they made with Uber when they chose to do nothing.

  If you want to restore faith in Uber drivers, think this.

  Maybe the driver's phone battery died and he couldn't complete the trip.

  Yeah, as a fellow Uber passenger, I am a bit embarassed with this question.  I've been in the customer business, and I know customers are the evil assholes. Not the providers.  That is definitely no exception with Uber and Lyft.

   5 years ago in  Uber experiments: Drivers seeing destination info before accepting the trip.

  I've never driven an Uber but there's a reason we need mechanism to stop drivers from cherry picking, right? It's even illegal for taxi drivers. 

  Here's an example, in Boston, drivers hate picking up passenger who are trying to go to East Boston across the harbor. It has traffic, long tunnel or bridge, and it is difficult to pick up another coming back. Not to mention tolls on the way back.  They despise it to the point they ask the passenger straight out.  Then passengers also know the game so they lie.

  If Uber drivers knew in advance you are going to East Boston, I have a feeling the residents there would have a difficulty in finding a ride. That didn't seem fair

   5 years ago in  Mid-Ride Cancellation Scam - Now on Bridges and Tunnels

  That is messed up. So people are canceling in middle of a tunnel because even if they get caught, they get to through the tunnel?  

  At the end of the day, the bill gets footed by Uber, but what a pain for the drivers.  What a shame that they need to watch their backs al the time and stare at their earnings report just to be compensated fairly.
