   3 years ago in  Is working for uber as a part time job safe for students?

  Where are you located? I think some areas may be safer in regards to Covid than others. I think if you need the money and are diligent about wearing your mask and disinfecting you should be just fine!

  This is pretty awesome, I hope the rest of the country takes notice and forces Uber to expand this.

   4 years ago in  My hubby is a rideshare driver and I HATE it

  I'm curious as to why you think he is cheating. In my opinion, if someone is a cheater they will always find a situation in which they can cheat. By making him quit rideshare driving will do nothing for your relationship. Most jobs involve working with others and working with others of the opposite sex, perhaps you need to look deeper into your relationship to overcome these feelings.

  At first I completely agreed with you but then on further thought I don't think they actually have a booking fee in all their cities.

  You might be able to get an Uber across some borders like US/Canada but there is no guarantee a driver will take you that far.

   5 years ago in  Passenger tips but I never received it?

  Twice I witnessed it while not getting paid when the tipping option first came out. Last week I showed a first time user how to tip through the app. She hit the $3 button and closed out the app without noticing the " Submit" button below  she was supposed to tap as well. I wonder how many other pax  thought they tipped but unintentionally didn't tap the Submit button in the process as well.

   5 years ago in  How much do NYC residents spend on taxis every month?

  Well this number is really all over the place, I mean there are people who take taxis everyday to and from work, getting around to meetings, etc. I had a friend who spent well over $1,000 a month on taxi cabs.

  However, he was affluent. Most normal, middle class, NYC residents will mainly use public transportation and will only get a cab on rare occassions or when the weather is terrible.

  It should be the law that drivers have dash cams - it would prevent so many fake claims by riders! If your not doing anything wrong why would you care?
