Statement from Tempe Police.
apparently the women was walking outside the crosswalk lines
Interesting question. I never thought about this!
Drivers are still being paid per mile/per minute wages along with the base fare but apparently there are other issues according to Recode.
"However, some drivers who have already tried Express Pool in Boston and San Francisco have complained that passengers either don’t understand that it’s not a door-to-door service, or they still insist on being picked up or dropped off in front of their location.
“It’s much more effort, many of the intersections Uber chooses as a good Express pickup location are very dangerous, and there is no good spot to safely pull over and pick up the passenger,” Thad, a Boston driver who has been working on the Uber platform since September 2017, told Recode. “It’s more effort, more headache, more potential for complications and a bad rating over things the driver has no control of.”
