   5 years ago in  Sting on Uber drivers picking up street hails

  Yes. This is about killing gypsy cabs. They are a problem for all of us, and they are a safety issue for riders. There was just another thread about some poor woman who got picked up by a fake uber driver and was found dead later.

  He's missing the "Bat out of hell Ride". Drive like a maniac and see how long it takes to get pulled over.

   5 years ago in  An Uber ride goes wrong and Salsa with a hint of nuts. Two dispicable human beings.

  I mean, you kinda have to wonder if the salsa move was worth it. Let's face it the customer is probably not even going to notice. And now you have a heckuva cleanup job to do.

   5 years ago in  New ride comparison app

  Other apps I have used can access my account without requiring me to enter my Uber password. They take me to the Uber app, where I can authorize the app's to access my account. Uber has API's for doing this. You should be using those instead.

   5 years ago in  New ride comparison app

  I tried it. The first thing this app does is ask you for your uber and lyft login and passwords. If you don't give up your passwords, you can't use the app.

  Talk about a red flag. I don't give away my passwords. Why do you need them? And why should I trust you to keep them safe?

  Little things like stamp the snow/slush of your shoes and boots before you get in. Even with all weather mats things get super messy after a night of work.

   5 years ago in  How to report an uber driver

  This is serious stuff... Forget contacting Uber, take down the plate # and car description (make/model/color), and then call the police before someone gets killed.

   5 years ago in  As a Driver, will you buy Uber or Lyft stock when it becomes available?

  I think there are better places to put your money. So no, I won't be. If I wanted to gamble on the hopes of a big post-IPO boost maybe I would, but that would be real gambling.

   5 years ago in  Very short trip??

  it is a very short trip. Drivers don't like short trips. But, they don't know the destination until they accept the ride. as someone else said, be sure to leave a good tip, and all will be well.

   5 years ago in  Willing to negotiate rides outside of Uber?

  Nope. Not worth it. If I give someone my number and tell them to call me when they need a ride, then I am stuck with them when they call. I just go through uber app, that way I can turn it off when I want.
