   2 years ago in  Uber ordered to pay $1.1 million after blind woman was denied rides more than a dozen times - CNN

  Oh, at first I thought drivers just didn't want anything to do with the blind woman, since they'd have to help and she could be a potential liability.  It's probably the dog, huh, that could lead to negative reviews from subsequent customers.

  That's sad that they probably drove up to the woman just to see the dog and THEN they'd cancel. Imagine being the woman and going through that so many times. I can see why she would be so mad.

  The article is a bit unclear. Is it that the owners cannot use the autonomous capability for rideshares?

  See, Tony, people’s minds are going to “wow, how dangerous,” because retirement implies that they’re not in the workforce and that they quit work for various other reasons.

   5 years ago in  Uber driver who jumped in front of train was deeply in debt

  Not to sound crass, but not having money is a big issue and many (if not most) who commit suicides are known to have financial issues.

  I am saying that the cause-effect is a bit loose here. We can't go around pointing fingers at every profession where a person commits a suicide and he had no money. There are plenty of investment bankers who make a lot but deeply in debt and end up committing suicide. We don't raise that in an article saying that their job didn't pay enough.

   5 years ago in  Can a 12-year-old ride an Uber alone?

  Gosh, 12? Coordinate with other parents and carpool. Works well. Hasn't changed much since the 60s.

  Would you really trust a stranger? Forget the background checks. Drivers swap accoutns all the time.

   5 years ago in  Is Driving For Uber and Lyft Safe?

  Being a taxi driver has always been said to be one of the most dangeour jobs in the world.  Hence, its brother Uber driver cannot be deemed safe. 

  However, it's got some good things going for it.

  • GPS and the locations of the vehicles are being tracked
  • The drivers have technically been identified and you know who they are.  (unlike taxi drivers who can be strangers)
  • The payments are through the app and credit card.  No cash transactions.

  Then again, there are things going against it too:

  • The driver may not be an experienced driver. 
  • While there are background checks, since pretty much anyone can drive Uber, you may run into people with bad intentions.
  • You are getting into unmarked vehicles that can be anyone's.

   5 years ago in  Two questions that came up in a FB group.

  So as many things in life, money can fix things, like the fact that you are an a-hole.

  Puke on the cab?  Drop a $200.

  Treat the driver like crap?  Drop a $50 and fix it.

  You can be the nicest caring person, maybe a single mom of 4 with no money, but can get dinged with 1-star ratings and be deactivated from Uber.

   5 years ago in  Can a parent order Uber or Lyft for a teenager? My kids?

  Hahaha.  Good call.  I feel like this is an area where Uber can really benefit the society.  Safe rides for children.  Plus, these kids can ride taxis, so the world no longer makes sense.

  BTW, I will call you out that a 14 year old cannot sit in the exit row.  They have to be 15.  :)

  Sure you can bring dogs with you.  and your gramps.

  With dogs, you may want to check with the driver while he is on his way.  Make sure to do it within 2 minutes.

  With UberPool, you are NOT allowed to bring your pet.  Sorta makes sense mright?
