  Sounds like we need incognito mode on the Uber app, so they forget that I am a frequent rider.

  Bump. 

  You should put that IRS deduction in the title of the topic.

   5 years ago in  I have a dashcam in my car, but I keep hearing I’m not allowed to record passengers unless they know about it, or agree to it. Is that true?

  Isn't this always about the "expectation of privacy."  The question is whether there is one inside an Uber or not.  Can you talk to that more?

   6 years ago in  What's a typical passenger rating for Uber? Is 4.50 good?

  Thank you for this.  I have been dinged by Lyft (well, the drivers) on slamming doors too hard, but I hoenstly never meant to.  It just sometimes happen depending on how soft the doors are to shut.  

  Unlike you, there seem to be plenty of drivers who love to ding the users on slamming the door.  One driver told me that that's one of the most popular complains from drivers...

   6 years ago in  Are there all day hires?

  Reminds me of the time I went to the island of St. Kitts, and as suggested by the hotel and guidebook, I hired a cabbie to take us around island.  It was great, and the cabbie just gave us an entire tour.

   6 years ago in  Do you help with Luggage? Do you help females more than males?

  Yeah, i am glad to see that this is a pretty standard practice among the drivers.  Most of mine do.  

  BTW your comment shed some light on why some drivers would rush over to grab the suitcase out of my hands.  LOL.

  Uber has a very selective mouth for sharing info.

   6 years ago in  There were 100K Uber and Lyft rides in Boston last year

  1.3M people take the T out of 4.6M people who live there?  That's nuts.  Oh, I guess each person can take the T multiple times.  still.

   6 years ago in  Care about the Environment? Then you will be happy with Lyft...

  I like this author  thorough and questions it. 

  "But carbon offsets don’t erase externalities like vehicular congestion or particulate pollution, and various studies have revealed that ride-hailing is actually increasing vehicle-miles traveled in cities. So Lyft's cars—your ride—will still be sitting in traffic, producing all sorts of localized negative impacts like longer commute times and worsened air quality."

  “Instead of $100 million or whatever Lyft is spending, I’d rather see them take that money to provide incentives for their drivers to purchase or access EVs, and just drive those,” says Weiland. In fact, RMI’s own research shows how TNC drivers that switch to electric vehicles will save gas and maintenance costs up front, and even more money due to the car’s efficiency over time

   6 years ago in  Is there a dress code for Uber and Lyft drivers? What have you seen them wear?

  I have had drivers wear everything from t-shirts and shorts, pajamas, and even a moomoo costume. (and it wasn't even Halloween)   I love this about the industry, and I frankly don't care how they are dressed as long as they can drive and can get me to the destination safely.

   6 years ago in  Do taxi and Uber drivers feel angry when customers use GPS map during their rides?

  Ooohhhhh, so people ARE sensitive about this.   Me too!

  So I use Google Maps on my phone while the trip is taking place.  I do it just to make sure we are headed in the right direction and also to get an idea of when we'll get there.  I will admit, I do hide it from the driver as I don't want to offend him!

  Thank you!  Driver apps are such mystery to us non-drivers.  This is neat.  i've always wondered this.

   6 years ago in  How do i contact a fellow passenger? like a co-rider on an UberPool or LyftLine?

  Yep, this is one of those things guys don't think about. (well, except for creepsters)   I never enter my home location whethere it's a shared ride or not. I just get dropped off at the corner of my street and walk.

   6 years ago in  Csn I use uber for grocery shopping

  Of course you can!  I do it all the time to go to Shaw's Supermarket on an Uber.  I live in a city, and I take Uber every time on a rainy day.

  The driver will not wait for you unless you ask.  I always end the trip at the store and then request another on the way home.  Sometimes, the nice drivers will wait for you in the parking lot so when you get out, you are matched up with them.  That's a win-win!
