  Hopefully it was just broken and he was on his way to fix it soon. Not only does that suck for passengers but I would assume he would want it fixed sitting in the heat all day.

   6 years ago in  As an Uber/Lyft driver, how has driving affected your family/relationship life?

  I have always thought that taxis and rideshares should charge a extra per person fee. You are right that the wear and tear on the car with 400 extra pounds is real. Some taxis (in some cities) do have extra person charges like $1 per person after the first rider but they are usually very small fees.

  never thought about the food spoiling. I once read that you are not even supposed to have water bottles in hot cars, something about plastic and cancer...

  I am sure these drivers do not bother to replenish their items every day meaning you could be eating/drinking some questionable stuff.
