Preach!!
apparently. I am begining to despise this world we live in.
Sorry but these posts piss me off. You are paying PENNIES for a ride!! Just freaking pay the pennies people.
wow! How do they have funding for this? I thought they were losing money?
always takes longer for me to get a ride.
That is practically double the cost!
I still say both, that driver had a job and he was probably on his phone. Uber created the car and put it on the road "without" a driver, so if the technology failed, Uber is to blame.
Anyone think this will actually work?
Yep, this is definitely going to be the case.
I was sorta thinking this when I saw this article but was curious what yall would say
I get it can be hard to travel with a baby but rent a car or something!! Don't cheap out on the safety of your kids.
No, this is way to lax! I don't want to get in a car with any criminal, no matter how long ago they were charged.
Keep a family member or friend updated on how your rides are going throughout your shift. If you feel uncomfortable when you arrive to pick someone up, cancel, gut reactions are often right!
This is so interesting, why would they be paid less, it doesn't make any sense.
Look at Lyft, steady rise. I am rooting for them!
They are already bringing their promos WAY down. Used to be $25 off for every person you referred and now it is $5. I also noticed that if you had $25 promos in your queue to be used and then because of their price change got a few $5 promos, they would make it so that you have to use the $5 promos first before you can get back to your $25 promo. IMO that incentivizes me to not refer new riders for a period of time till I can use my larger promo amounts first. Just interesting, seems like they are trying to cut back on the promo spending.
Are you interested in Grab and Ubers Carpooling services (JustGrab and UberPool)? I have looked into Uberpool pricing before as I was always really confused how it was calculated. This article by the rideshare guy helped me out a bit, but man, seems like they jsut come up wit ha random price half hte time!
yep. this is why i will never get in an Uber or Lyft
OMG thank you! I had a drunken ride home the other night and definitely gave my driver a lower score than he deserved.... Changing it now!
