Oh wow, this is terrible. So this was riders doing this that were all a part of a scheme? How terrifying
Uber is losing their marbles...
Oh ok, I thought it was like free rides or something. This makes a lot more sense but not worth it IMO.
I don't understand what the $24.99 gets you? Is it like a day, week, monthly payment?
Whenever I think of funny remedies I think of Windex from "My big fat greek wedding". That was possibly the best product placement in history.
I hate stories like this, so incredibly sad. That Taxi driver was just trying to protect his vehicle and do what was right, I am sure he never thought it would result in his death. I hope his family gets some aid from Uber (though sadly, unlikely).
I have a feeling the parents who NEED to see this are the ones who will completely turn a blind eye to this type of post. I am sure they are think they are good parents and are justified in their reasons for not putting their child in a car seat in that one situation. So infuriating, it only takes one situation for a life to change forever.
I am with you on this one, this irritates me to no end!! Those poor children who are in these situations completely unaware that they are even in danger. We have gone from "do not get in cars with strangers" to "get in cars with strangers and don't wear seatbelts" GRRR
Men who are so invested in womens reproductive issues kind of creep me out...
I dont see what is cute about this at all?
Is Sitbaq still around? Your web URL links are not working.
Do you have any information on how this impacts your electric bill? I would assume charging multiple scooters every night has to add up.
Most of these "rewards" are pretty small potatoes IMO.
How do you get that drivers lost 2.69 billion?
eeeww that's gross. Is that a real thing? Up-skirt cameras in cars? 😱
Yes, I believe it is available across the entire US. Anywhere where Uber/Lyft operate.
I have had a similar experience. I also have about a 4.8 rating and I cannot think for the life of me why my rating would not be a 5. I also am very polite, read situations well as to whether the driver would like to chat or not, never bring food in the car, always tip a reasonable amount, etc. I just don't get what I have done! I am also always waiting outside where I should be. I agree with a few posters here that some people are just biased.
I dont understand. Do you pick the decor? Do you have to buy it? How does this help you earn more money?
Heck of a market to go public in right now. Yikes.
Thanks! Good to know.
