Being in a crowded/small space and saying you have covid is the modern day equivalent to yelling fire.
Use the fare calculator on this site to find out.
Sorry to all seattle drivers but this is going to kill your take home. Uber is going to raise the rates so high to cover the additional driver pay that no one will take Uber's anymore. Eventually Uber will slash the number of drivers allowed in Seattle and you most likely will be out of a job...
ouch. no one I knew fell for this charade... thank god
What I want to know is if these riders need to provide proof? A picture perhaps? If now this is just going to be another way that riders exploit the system looking for ride credit from Uber.
Where are you located? I wouldn't be surprised if they are trying to cut down on drivers in some areas. This is such bullshit.
Ha! I think we are all jsut over Uber and Lyft at this point. They both suck. This shit happens all the time and they never care or do anything about it. Sorry, hope it gets resolved for ypu but dont hold your breath.
Curious how you are going to fix this?! Drivers are always just going to pee in bottles.
That's some real BS. I am guessing some sort of glitch in their app right at that time? Awful luck. They need to trust you though.
eh nothing really that great about it imo
I bet you could make a killing on halloween! You could even really go for it and decorate your car
any update on how this is going?
I actually got one of the free tip stickers from this site, I choose the cow one (cracked me up personally) and I get a lot of comments on it from my riders. I am not entirely sure if I have gotten more tips (perhaps slightly, it is so hard to tell) but people really seem to love it so hey it cant hurt!
yes please keep us updated on the tips. As much as I think this might drive me insane, if the money is decent I would give it a try!
Lol good point!
Sorry man, that is so frustrating. Sometimes driving for Uber is like a random lottery, some people get deactivated for unjust reasons, some can't sign up, and some nutcases have been driving for 5+ years.
How long are the rides you are taking?
Seriously, what driver would just hand over his phone to a stranger. I mean come on. This is so dumb.
Wow, this is really interesting. So they just send it to you for free and you have definitely noticed an increase in tips? How is listening to people singing while trying to drive? LOL Is it worth it? That might drive me insane but $27 in tips in awesome.
