   3 days ago in  AB5 passed but Uber and Lyft dont plan to reclassify their drivers as employees.

  I dont think they really have a choice. The days of picking and choosing which laws to follow for Uber are coming to an end. People are fed up!

  But why?! What does this benefit Lyft? Are they losing money on driver's using destination filters? Sometimes I think there is board meetings at corporate where they just sit around and find ways to screw with drivers.

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

  I think I would have to agree with the other posters to go with a taxi, sadly. I do wonder if your parents asked their wheelchair pushers kindly if they could escort them to the rideshare pickup location if they would. It may not be normal but I would think they may be willing to make an exception?

   1 month ago in  WTH UBER???? They are creating more unsafe conditions for drivers, treating us like employees without paying us or giving us benefits like an employee. They get more EVIL everyday.

  I love how Uber and Lyft implement these changes but try to make them sound like a good thing - "Uber Pro" more like "Big Brother Uber"

  LOL Thank you for putting the riders in as "winners". So many people do not see this but the riders are getting away with traveling for nothing. The sad this is they are now getting so used to it they will revolt if Uber raises prices to reasonable rates

  I have heard of this type of scam before where someone calls you pretending to be Uber. Uber would never do that so don't ever give out your credentials!!
