   5 years ago in  Do drivers really want to become employees? What about the "work when you can" flexibility?

  The whole idea of Lyft and Uber X in the beginning was that it was just normal people making use of their cars in off hours to make a little extra cash. If they turn us all into employees that spirit is gone forever. Of course maybe it already is.

   5 years ago in  This shouldn't happen! WTH is wrong with these drivers? Trained service dogs do not cause big messes in your car.

  Service dogs are the all-stars of domestic animals. Amazingly well trained. Unfortunately there has been a proliferation lately of "emotional support animals" which are not trained at all in most cases and I think that has given all service animals a bad name. (Wrongly)

   5 years ago in  Uber and Lyft suggest the days of cheap rides could be over [Wired]

  It will depend on the market. In a lot of places I think higher rates would be sustainable immediately. So they will probably inch up there quickly. Maybe some places not so much.

  This would be amazing. Uber and Lyft would be forced to raise rates. And so be it. People have been getting their rides subsidized on the backs of drivers for this long. They can pay more.

  In your article you say:

  States are losing a lot of revenue by not collecting taxes due to all gig economy workers being labeled IC (Independent Contractor).

  Don't ICs have to pay taxes just the same as employees? Is the problem that they are underreporting income?

   5 years ago in  Why is Lyft Blocking Third Party Apps for Drivers?

  Lyft seems to be cracking down hard on all these apps. Notice that they are gray on rideguru fare estimates now instead of pink. On the bellhop app they don't even use lyfts name in the logo anymore. Probably gave these guys legal trouble is my guess. Very lame.

  So much for Lyft being the good guys.

   5 years ago in  Uber sues Chicago. Sounds like Lyft is paying off some politicians, Uber pissed!

  Sure looks like some corruption going on there. It's funny. Taxis were always known as a shady business with lots of underhanded things going on behind the scenes. mob connections. etc. Uber and Lyft came along and sort of upended that. But now it just seems like they're headed back that way... What is it about transportation that breeds this kind of corruption.

   5 years ago in  Uber and Lyft need to add a DNDF!

  Here is what urban dictionary gives me:

  designated non-discriminatory friend

  This is the true wingman. The friend in your group who does not discriminate against anyone of the oppisite sex. They will hook up with the fugliest of fugly. The next day when you talk to them, after going out, they never talk about themselves they only want to make sure you hooked up! You can use " DNDF" to shorten it up

  Got it!

   6 years ago in  ALLERGIC REACTION TO TOBACCO SMOKE

  Driver here. Uber cars are technically supposed to be smoke-free. But like brownbear said, even if that rule was adhered to, you don't know the car's history. One thing you could do is call the driver after you request the ride (you can call via the app), and ask them, explaining that any previous smokers in the car at all would give you a bad reaction. Most drivers would be honest about it since they don't want a bad rating. They would rather you cancel the ride than get a 1 star rating.
