  Is it true that people use Uber and Lyft instead of the Subway?

  Are rideshares actually a substitute for public transportation like the subway? I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts

   5 years ago in  Uber/Lyft Driver livestreams all his passengers, exposing secrets and mocking women's bodies

  This story sounds like something out of a creepy, scary movie. I get that drivers want to record passengers for liability purposes sometimes. But sharing personal information to the world is a whole other level of weird.

   5 years ago in  Can I change Uber destination after the ride started? During the trip?

  When you hit " change destination" as a passenger, it will alert you that it might change the cost of your trip, and will notify the driver right away. When i'm in the car and I do this, I will see the driver's phone light up that says "updated destination" and usually they just keep driving without saying a word

   5 years ago in  If I become an Uber driver, will I get discounts if I want to use the service?

  I wonder if they really advertise these services to drivers. I'm sure a lot of people would use it if they knew about it. And it's probably not as easy as Uber makes it seem.

   5 years ago in  What do you think of Uber's new CEO Dara Khosrowshahi?

  The reputation of the CEO is always measured by the reputation of the company. What I mean is that even if the CEO is this amazing person with seemingly almost no flaws, but the company sucks, the CEO will get a bad reputation by default. Most of the time this isn't the case, because when you have a strong leader at the face of your company, those values trickle down to the very bottom level.

   5 years ago in  Women are being sexually assaulted in Ubers and they can't even go to court. What's up with that?

  Uber has a sexual harassment problem, but with drivers and the people it employs in its corporate setting. It is all a trickle down. A major rehaul needs to happen for any of these policies to change.

  I haven't, but I've almost accidentally gotten in the wrong car! The driver told me I was wrong though, and didn't try to scam me.

   6 years ago in  Is driving for uber and lyft safe? I keep hearing these horror stories of drivers getting shot because passengers get angry.

  in general, driving for uber and lyft is pretty safe. the stories you hear about are pretty rare, but reporters don't post about rideshare drivers with no drama

   6 years ago in  How much do I tip my uber or lyft driver?

  there isn't a standard you should pay, like how at restaurants they say 18-20% is the norm. it depends. if you had to put a number on it maybe around 10%, which i think is the standard for tipping in taxis

   6 years ago in  OMGGGGG Uber is SO annoying. I left my phone in the car and had to go an hour and a half to get it. And then they charge me $15! I met him near his house!

  This happened to me before too. They added a charge whenever you leave an item no matter how much effort you put in to get it.
