   5 years ago in  Drivers what strange things have been left behind by your riders? Riders what have you left in your Uber or Lyft?

  A Babe Ruth-signed baseball, a white gold wedding band with diamonds, a full set of 18K gold teeth, Yeezys and white leather snakeskin Louboutin heels were among the most expensive items.

  WHAT. Why do I never find diamond rings in my car?? "Hmm, sorry Uber, nope, never saw that one... they must have dropped it at the bar..."

  Just kidding. I would never keep something like that... or would I? Well now I'm not so sure.

   5 years ago in  Median Taxi Medallion Price in Chicago Down to $26,500

  Medallion lets you pick up street hails. Smart phones killed street hails. Street hails are dead, forever. So, this makes sense. 

  But I feel really bad for the people who got screwed in this. Some really tragic stories out there.

   5 years ago in  For those of you who drive in cold weather cities what do you do to keep your car clean?

  You can't really keep them clean. It's pretty much hopeless. I go to the car wash frequently. Once a week or more. Also make sure you get a coat of wax. The wax stops things from really clinging to the car and makes it easier to keep clean.

  Wait, so taxis are getting a 2.50 fee, and Ubers a 2.75 fee. I mean, it's pretty egalitarian is it not? I don't see how this puts taxis at a disadvantage. I guess they are trying to lobby for being exempt from it.

   5 years ago in  Ok, when I call an Uber and it’s empty, do I sit in the front with the driver, or in the back alone?

  that, and it's just... kinda weird when someone sits up front, alone. I don't really mind tbh but it's just a little awkward sometimes. Usually those people are really talkative which is ok by me.

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

   It has always seemed a bit weird to me that CUSTOMERS of the service get RATED. yes, drivers should be rated by customers. That makes perfect sense. But customers??? They are paying for the service, they are not paying to be rated. Its a really strange system if you ask me.

  Guys... These companies are going to be way over valued. Stay away. If you want to invest wisely buy some index funds and hold on tight.

   6 years ago in  Uber not paying driver

  A good technique if you want to get a company's attention is to tweet at them about the situation. That way it is public. A lot of times they will respond.

   6 years ago in  RideGuru Rideshare Survey Results 2018; Forget Tinder and LinkedIn. Ridesharing is the new social centre.

  Well the logical conclusion is that riders think that the rideshare companies are taking too much of a cut. Right? I mean the way Uber now seems to just take as much as they want and screw the drivers, there is plenty more they could be paying us, and riders are smart enough to sense that.

   6 years ago in  RideGuru Rideshare Survey Results 2018; Forget Tinder and LinkedIn. Ridesharing is the new social centre.

  89% do not support regulation!?!? That is a huge number. I'm surprised. Maybe passengers just don't really see how it could benefit them. Do they like paying surge pricing? Do they like not knowing for sure how well a driver has been vetted?

  Their last logo sucked so bad. Looks like they figured that out. This one looks cleaner. But it is boring as all get out. They couldn't hire a couple of decent graphic designers with all the money they don't give to us?
