   5 years ago in  Uber and Lyft drivers, what makes you think "this is gonna be a long ride" when a passenger gets in?

  Suitcase is usually a good sign. If you're in a place where the airport is far away.

  I don't pick people up with stupid obviously fake names. If you want to be clever you can do it somewhere else but not in my car.

  The problem is lawyers... They'll put together a lawsuit for anything. It's all gravy for them.. and, liability is all screwed up and placed on the wrong parties. But our lawmakers are all lawyers so this will never get fixed.

   5 years ago in  The beginning of the end of Uber and Lyft - Sami's Law

  So this law basically says every driver has to put some sort of barcode on their window? And it applies to anyone who wants to pick up in NJ? I mean as long as Uber makes that available to whoever might need it (ie. not just NJ drivers but also people like you who are based outside of NJ but want to pick up there), I don't see a huge problem with it. Yeah it slows things down a little but it should help with the imposter problem...

   5 years ago in  Drivers, what stupid, careless, things do you see other drivers (not just ride share drivers)do while out driving on the road? What pet peeves do you have that makes you so angry that you just want to drag a driver out of their car & smack them upside their head?

  def try not to road rage. nothing good comes of that. I try to just remember we're all in it together. even when someone is a jerk, it's probably because they are miserable so I give them a little space and forget about it. Really helps get through the day.

   5 years ago in  Can I Uber drive my wife in my Uber ride app?

  There is no way to choose your driver explicitly.  You have to play the game where she requests the ride, and you try to catch it before someone else does. Not that hard to do though.

   5 years ago in  What was it like driving for Lyft and Uber between 2013 and 2015???

  I didn't drive in LA but I drove east coast. It was easy to make money. The market for drivers was not saturated like it is now. It felt like you could quit your job and make a nice living driving for Uber, being your own boss. Uber was the good guy. Good times. Mid to high five figures was possible if you drove a lot. I knew it wouldn't last.

  A lot of people figured that out real quick and joined in. So here we are.

  I saw a thing recently about how there used to be lots of helicopter services from the airports to building tops in manhattan. Pretty neat. But in 1977 there was a crash on top of the Pan Am building, and that was the end of that.

   5 years ago in  Cab driver was shot, killed in Back Bay Tuesday after refusing to drive suspect to Mansfield, officials say

  This is so MESSED UP. This guy needs to be put in prison. For the rest of his life. At best...

  He asked Oruma to take him to Mansfield, Verner said, but Oruma refused. Mansfield is about 35 miles outside the city.

  “You’re gonna move this cab, or I’m gonna move you,”  Foy allegedly told Oruma, according to Verner.

  When Oruma still refused, Verner said, Foy exited the vehicle and pulled Oruma out of the driver’s seat, shooting him once. As Oruma lay in the street, Foy stood over him and fired multiple times.
