This happened to me quite a few times. This particular night I get a request for Uber X I can seat 4 safely. I pull up there are 3 people they say we are waiting for one more. I am paying no attention to back seat they say ok we are good I start trip get 5 blocks from pick up look in rear view mirror I have 4 in back 1 in front. So what do I do? Do I say something? Do I end trip there and boot them out? I am sure you are all saying I would of. Lol There is 5 of them one of me, oh forgot to mention I am not in a very good neighborhood. Do I call police? I probably won't get past 91 before one of them can take my phone and if I can connect with 911 chances are police will not be there before I am beaten and my car is on cinder blocks. So I take my time ride the right lane nice and slow, stay away from traffic. We get to destination still in another crappy hood. I quickly end trip. The person they are meeting doesn't answer their call so they are not moving out of my car. Uh hello trips over. So they continue to sit in my car for 10 min deciding what to do. Fnally I get another rider so I find my voice and get the courage to say "I got to go" . Still another 2 min. go by. Finally guy comes out and they get their stuff out of my trunk and go on their way. Now I pull up with doors locked and don't unlock until I know how many are getting in my car. I've learned quite a few lessons driving for Uber this past year.

I've picked up strippers twice. One stripper had a fit & started screaming at me because I didnt pick her up at stripper enterance. The app put me in front of the place. I had never been there before. She called me screaming so I drive around to where she told me but there were people all over plus 2 entrances/exits so I ask the first female I see if she was my passenger. She ignores me then I see Mr. Big and Beefy with the tight muscle head shirt on wave me over. She opens door starts screaming why didnt you come here 1st & why were you talking to those people? I try to explain that the pick up location put me up front and what people are you talking about? She screams the people in the car. I reply "what people, what car" . She screams again the people in the car. I am getting annoyed now, because she hasnt stopped screaming at me and what people in what car not a clue who she was referring to. I should've left when I was eligible for cancel fee. We drive a mile GPS says make left turn screaming stripper barks order i will tell you where to go. We go another mile another barking order "pull into that gas station I need something". She needed something all right some manners or a foot up her ass. I pull in to this gas station that is packed has a line of cars to get in (will explain the line of cars at 3am at a gas station another time). I finally get into lot she gets out and I plot my escape. Why should I take her screaming, order barking ass anywhere else they dont pay me enough for this? I put the car in drive ready to pull out and my guilty conscience kicks in. Its 3am you cant do that. Then the little devil on my shoulder says go for it. Good conscience won I stayed but when she got back in I had a little talk with her. By the time i dropped her off she was happy. So happy when she got out she said "i am going to give you 5 stars". I wanted to reply "stick your 5 stars so far up (that thing you shake for money)that they shoot out of your mouth and hand over some of those bills you made tonight. She was out right rude and bossy.
The 2nd stripper I picked up didnt yell at me but she also barked orders. Wont get into much detail as I just wrote a book about stripper #1. Her barking orders were hello as she entered car order #1"put this radio station on, order #2 turn volumn up ill tell you when to stop" #3 dont speak to me while music is on #4 put the heat up. No please no thank you ànd you guessed it no tip. Last but not least we pull up to destination my app shows end trip you've arrived i end it wait for her to get the hell out. But she needs to bark 1 more order #5 "I've never been here before just sit here until I can find my friend then you can leave". Must be a stripper thing to bark orders and not tip. These 2 were in my first month of driving they taught me a few things that night. No, one of those things was not how to work a stripper pole. Thanks for sharing R Paulson. Would love to here more stories.

This time I pick up 3 men in there 30's from India at a strip club in Bensalem PA. They get in dont seem really intoxicated. We have a coversation then they are talking amongst themselves. I look at GPS. Its putting me on PA Turnpike. Now where ever I get off I am not going to know where I am so obviously relying on GPS completely. Go up a few exists get off. Its dark as hell. I swear Bucks County suburbs doesnt like or is too cheap to put up street lights. Everything is so dark you see nothing when you look behind you. At this times roads are not only dark but no traffic around. The guys start speaking in their language now, up to this point their conversations were all English even to each other. Before I go further I was under impression destination was one of their homes. Now I have to turn into a dark business complex. Everything closed no one around. My mind thinks they are plotting to hack me up into little pieces lol This is just too shady. No houses, everything dark, no people, no cars. I am so ready to turn around at this point but had no idea where I could go or what i would say to them about turning around. Hearts pounding, nervous. Drive about .5 mile and up on my right was a Hotel. Never so grateful to see one. This was my 2nd experience on a ride that really scared me being a female driver. I think after all my stripper, strip club experiences (as I have 2 other time I had a pick up) I need to stay away from those places. Those rides are either miserable, scarey or just plain strange. Do you think Uber would deactivate me for not driving to or picking up from those places? Lol Yes definately.

I think you should be able to. I have had a few riders who are happy to see a woman driver. I even had a male who said he would rather have a woman because a male driver may be able to over power a male rider. Some of these young girls pass out from drinking. Some are so drunk that a male driver could do something and she probably wouldnt remember. If these women who got raped had a female than the rape would've never happened. Young women tell me all the time some of their male drivers hit on them some are just creepy make them feel uncomfortable. One young woman said her driver bought her cigs alcohol, and tried to kiss her after ride was over. Women tend not to be criminals, rapist, etc. I would think they wouldnt be hitting on male passengers to the point that the msle rider is uncomfortable. Unfortunately these women who have had these issues dont report driver because they are afraid he will come back to their house.

Lilly, Can you please clarify or correct me if I am wrong as I dont want to be giving my riders wrong info. If you schedule a ride more than 60 min. in advance your fare is locked in. If you schedule a ride in less than 60 min. in advance Uber gives you an estimate. Then when you are matched with a driver fare could increase if there is a surge in your area. Thank you.

Uber and Lyft base fares on the longest route to riders destination (time & miles). Most Drivers take the shortest route. Driver is paid for the miles they drove & the amt. of time it took. I arrive at riders destination switch off GPS & go back to Uber or Lyft app. It will say 5 to 15 min until destination. I do the speed limit, I use WAZE app, my car doesn't fly, and its not an amphibious car. Passenger got charged for that 5 to 15 min even though it didnt take that long and they get charged for the miles I didnt travel. This is why drivers are complaining. Uber and Lyft are making a few dollars less than us or the same amount. Nothing we can do as we agreed to be pd per mile and time. Upfront pricing scam. What sucks is riders think we are getting 75%/80% of the fare so they may not be tipping for that reason. Especially on long trips that are 50.00 to 150.00. I am driving for Uber as I text this. When I have some free time later today I will post some screen shots so passengers can see whats going on. O will also screen shot my next trip that says we have X amt of time until destination when we are all ready there.
I have a few questions. You state the fare for riders will be "just below" Uber and Lyft. How much below 5%, 10%? Approx. how much lower? How are drivers going to be better when most drivers will come from Uber and Lyft? What type of background check will be done? Thats one of the biggest mistakes Uber and Lyft made. They did and continue to do 3rd party background checks. Why not do FBI Fingerprint Backgrounds? That would eliminate drivers who should not be on a ride share platform. Eliminate criminals from law abiding drivers. Is TRYP going to back the drivers or just automatically side with riders like Uber and Lyft do? Is there a customer service number drivers can call if they need assistance? Will those representatives know how to actually help the driver or will they read from a script? When driver sends message is it being read by a person and will a person respond? Or do we get standard scripted answers that dont even apply to what the driver is asking? We are seeing the basics for TRYP, we know we pay a fee and get 100% of the fare but whate else is different from Uber and Lyft? Although pay is a big factor there is many other issues drivers have with current ride share companies. Are airports in the US going to accept another ride share company and allow them to pick up and drop off? I love the idea of keeping 100% of the fare but what else makes me take the chance to come drive for TRYP? Why am I going to pay a fee to drive for TRYP? what makes me hand over 200.00 to a new company that may be the same or worse than the other 2? Are we going to run into the same problems where we are driving 10/20 min to a pick up and take a rider .75 miles? What about tolls is the riders paying tolls? What do we do in the beginning when people havent switched yet to TRYP? I pay 199.00 and get 2 trips that I make 15.00 total X 4 weeks. So now 140.00 of mine is lost. Approx how quickly does your research show that people will switch? How many riders are expected to use TRYP right away? Market is saturated with drivers now will TRYP make it worse? I could go on but I think you get my point. I understand you may not have exact numbers or answers but I assume you have done research and testing in some matkets what do they show? Why are we not seeing bill boards, ads, articles, commercials? Your company sounds great in theory but I assume before drivers are going to put out their hard earned money they will need more info. see some press, and exposure. I know I want more info. before I hand over 200.00. Not trying to be difficult just want more info.
On smaller roads 25/40 mph I may go over speed limit but only if I know the area. Major highway 50/70 mph. Of course. Nothing wrong with going over speed limit as long as traffic isnt heavy and you are not driving carelessly.
Make money and flexibility.
In case you wanted some answers on tryp. Click link below.
These people have posted on here a few times. I made a few negative comments saying it was BS and a female (dont remember her name) got all defensive. Telling me she couldnt put up info yet. I tried to be nice and act like I was interested to see what she had to say but when I questioned her about her email she wouldnt put it up. She wanted us to give our email addresses to her if interested. No thanks.
I would trust what Harry Campbell - Therideshareguy has to say. See link below.
https://therideshareguy.com/what-is-tryp/
I remember them. 😊 If you didnt send it something terrible would happen to you or you would have bad luck for the rest of your life.
When I first started driving I didnt realize my phone wasnt charging. My phone died. Within 2 min I got it on charger and notified Uber that I didnt end trip on time. The response I got back was "the amount charged to rider was still correct they would not need to change it". I have forgot once or twice since then but its less than a minute after dropping off rider. As LG PA stated we want to end the ride to be able to move on and accept more trips. My app froze once and I couldnt end it but once you close it out and reopen it usually fixes itself. Only takes a few min. Dont think many drivers would take the risk as Uber would most likely find out. I have heard of a driver doing it on their very last day of driving for Uber (dont know how true it is). Even then dont make much sense because you cant accept any new trips.
I am not handing out 200.00 to 400.00 per month to anyone. Where are we going to find riders? This is crazy. I would love to hear from a driver that pulled 400.00 out of pocket and see how many rides they got so far. Bet the answer is a big fat $0. Wondering if Tryp is the business a few people on here were trying to recruit drivers for. Is anyone really that naive?
Total dysfunction in our government. Who suffers? Tax payers. They all need to grow up and stop acting like spoiled children.
UPDATE
Driving this past Saturday night with passenger in heavy rain headed down Torresdale Ave. I was 2 blocks from the intersection where I found the dog I talked about in previous thread. Out of the corner of my eye I spot a dog walking out between 2 parked cars. I say "shit" swerve and hit brakes to avoid him and apologize to rider. Rider replies, "its ok I seen him". The one night I needed a back seat driver this male says nothing. Lol I have (usually men older than 45) feel the need to back seat drive or give directions even though GPS is giving same directions. Guess some men still think women cant drive. Lol I think he looks just like the dog I found roaming in the streets months back. I looked at dog again and sure enough its him. Same crappy leash. Either the people let him roam or he is an escape artist. Either way I wish his owner would stop letting him out or do something to prevent him from escaping. He is going to get hurt or killed in an accident. Both times he was on heavily travelled roads in the dark. Had i not had a passenger I probably would've stopped again. Just thought it was interesting I came across the same dog.

Was asked to answer a question on Quora today." What is the saddest thing I've experienced as an Uber driver? I choose to answer it with "parents requesting rides with no car seat and drivers not declining these rides. As many of you all ready know my answers are not short lol. Trust me when I say I didnt disappoint. Most lengthy to date. I am not askung anyone to go to Quora and read it as probably not enough time in a day to finish reading it:) What I am asking is that if you are a driver PLEASE CANCEL RIDE collect your fee and move on. As a rider dont requesr unless you have a car seat or order Uber with a safety seat, yes it is an option. I still need to check if Lyft has this. If you know thst answer I would appreciate if you could post. Save these kids. I know its not your job however please have a conscience, a good work ethic and be a voice for these kids that dont want to be severely injured or dead. I've asked quora readers to post any stories they may know of a child being injured or killed because a parent is too cluless, lazy, careless, irresponsible, or all of the above. Although I hate hearing about tragic stories especislly regarding children I feel the need to educate and raise awareness about this issue. Its not just rideshare that makes this an issue its the lack of knowledge, education, or the stupidity, carelessness, or the attitude that "it wont happen to my kid" that injures or kills these infants, toddlers, children under 10.
I am asking the drivers out there to make a difference, to save a life, and raise awareness. I am asking parents to stop requesting rides if there is not an appropriate safety seat provided by you or a driver. Please take a few minutes to post a story, share a story, text, FB, Twitter, etc to raise awareness. You just may a save a life. Looking to do a good deed or pay it forward its easy you save a life, save a fellow driver from heartache, financial ruin, jail time etc. Please raise awareness 1 post, share, tweet, whatever you choose to use asking drivers to cancel these rides and rides not to request them. If you really are bored ir in between rides feel free to visit quora and read my answer. Feel free to add to my comment here or on quora. The more people that share, like, upvote, post, the more people we can reach in hopes of saving 1, 2, hundreds, maybe thousands of children who have clueless, irresponsible, parents. Would greatly appreciate if we could do something about helping or saving these kids. Everyday now I am getting adults with kids and no seat. First one at an airport the other night 14 month old mom and dad had the correct appropriate child safety seat. Had a 7 yr old was on taller side seatbelt wouldnt of been 100% perfect but thankfully I have booster. Approximately an hour 20 min long ride $97.00 plus 20.00 tip although declined was offered food & drink ftom BK.) Had they not had seat i would be looking at 3.75 had i not had my 14.00 booster seat same outcome 3.75. I also scored a return ride towards my destination this almost never happens when I am in this area with destination filter. $53.77 fare, my tolls paid on return trip, 12.00 tip. The ride with the kids was not pleasant for first 25 min as the baby screamed her adorable head off. Once we got on TP, lowered heat, pulled over to a Burger King to change disper and put some country music on (not my favorite but apparently hers) she went sound sleep. My point being my trip was easier, relaxing after 25 min because i had no worries of getting a ticket for no seat and no worries that the baby or 7yr old was flying through my windshield or out my side windows. Had responsible parents. Was treated well, trip nice, parents grateful for booster, and with good karma for being patient, pulling over for diaper change, assuring mom who was anxious over baby crying that I wasnt annoyed over it so she should relax. I got a good tip and a decent rider on a return trip with tolls pd and another decent tip. So with that being said wouldn't it be nice if we didnt have to decline these no car seat trips because they were not being requested. Answer I would be happier and so us my my bank account. Not that they would do it but Uber and Lyft should make a policy that the 1st time you request a car and have no seat driver will cancel ride with a 5.00 fee being charged to rider and driver reports it. Any ride requested after that will continue to incur fees going up 10.00 each time. I will be willing to bet this stops the problem altogether. Since this will not be an option unfortunately. Lets just take a stand ourselves and stop it. As always thanks for reading my lengthy posts. Thanks to those who upvote.
Not tipping and blaming Uber is an excuse. At one time that may have been a good excuse in the beginning. Riders know we can be tipped. There are enough forums, articles, threads, and general talk. Some riders expect you to go out of your way for them, expect limo service for for the few bucks they pay are just cheap, inconsiderate, self entitled asses that no matter what you do, how above and beyond you go, will not part with an extra $1 or $2. Nothing or no one will change them. People who tip either understand why you tip, or are kind & considerate. Others very generous.
Had a young 20 something female rider. Headed to NY. Picked her up in NJ at nice townhouses didnt have a clue where she was. Quiet the whole ride except for 2 outburst that I thought she was crying, but she said she was laughing at something funny. Some strange noises that sounded like she was wrestling in back of car punching herself. Lol Strangest part of the whole ride she did not pull a cell phone out at all. She was in the back by herself. As soon as we stopped for tolls at Lincoln Tunnel she wanted to know what cell towers were? Then proceeds to say out of the blue,"we need more scientists. I think everyone could become a scientist to make things". I want to be a scientist, wonder what classes I would take"? "They should give free tuition if you want to become s scientist". Onto new subject about AI and robots taking over the world. Proceeded onto how Trump is orange with white eyes. Uses bad spray tan, how old he looks, and how his wife cant speak English at all. I dont have a clue still cant explain the conversation choices or her mentality or lack of :) Dont know if I had Cybil and her multiple personalities or an Alien creature. I am thinking Alien creature, really early 20 something female with no phone, not one text, or selfie in cities she said she never visited before. Was a strange ride. I guess drugs couldve been a factor.
Nyclisa, I am a driver. I can only speak for myself and what I do. I do not rate a rider under 5 stars unless they did something really really annoying, rude, totally disrespectful. I have over 1825 rides. I can count on 1 hand how many riders I rated 2 to 4 stars. Trust me there should've been about 35 more added to that number. My issue is if I rated rider 3 stars I have to give reason why. Lets say they made me wait 8 min didnt apologize, left trash all over the car, was rude & disrespectful. I tell that to Uber I now have to worry that rider retaliates and rates me 1 star. If a rider takes 1 Uber per mth & their rating goes down a week after their ride with me they know who did it. Riders have 2/3 weeks to rate we have 5 secs. Lets say I drop you off and driver all ready accepted another ride in last 3 min of your ride. You arrive at destination driver swipes end trip & wants to move on but the rating pops up & we cant get go any further in the app until we rate. If they ard busy and trying to rush maybe they accidentally hit 1 stat or 3 stars instead of 5. Uber WILL NOT change a rating no matter what you tell them for driver or rider. Maybe driver hates rating system so he just clicks whatever to get passed that screen. Not saying its fair but maybe these are reasons. Lyft gives driver 24 hrs to rate rider. Uber gives 5 secs. Rider gets 2/3 weeks on Uber and not sure on Lyft but its at least 24hrs.
Here is another senario. I am not being sarcastic or rude but here is a possibility your rating is not 5 stars. You state " I am tired, work hard, long hrs, you TRY to be FRIENDLY companion if I MUST". "Really would like to rest, catch up on work, but long ago I REALIZED they WONT let me I listen and reply in as FRIENDLY WAY AS I CAN". I get it yes sometimes its nice to have a conversation with your rider but you worked your long day you are tired you may want peace and quiet. Totally understandable. I cant agree more after you worked all day who wants to hear other peoples problems. I totally agree i would do the same be nice, listen, agree (no driver should be sharing their problems, difficulties, or issues with you, they should keep conversation light, upbeat, and positive). Common sense to most but not all. I capitalized negatives to point out that you MAY enter car with a negative vibe because it seems you get those drivers that unload their problems on you. Its just going to be one of those rides you dread. You are kind enough to listen, show compassion, and try to be friendly. But in reality you want peace and quiet and to be left alone. That is your right and no one should tell you your rude. It could be possible tbat a few drivers are picking up that you are just going along & being nice because you have to. Even though you think & feel you are handling these types of drivers wonderfully they may see through it. They also may feel it is fake and your just being condescending. When in fact you feel you are being nice, polite, and friendly. Again not saying you are fake, not saying you should have to change or talk to driver the whole ride. If I have a bad rider and immediately pick another rider up I may smile, i may talk, i may say all the right things but there are times i can feel some awkwardness, negativity in the car becausd of previous rider. Once I realize this I have to let go of the negativity and the anger from previous rider or this will continue after each and every rider. Some people are more sensitive than others and can feel negative energy, vibes, presence, auora whatever you want to call it. Agsin not trying to be rude.
Try this next time. Get in the car smile, say good morning, how are you. Driver says my back is killing me, Uber dont listen to its dtivers, my husband is lazy blah blah blah. Respond with sorry i hope things get better for you I had a rough day also i had to bring my work home with me so if you will excuse me I have emails i have to answer, vm to listen to, texts to get out or I may just nod off for an hour. At end of ride simply say thank you for giving me quiet time I accomplished a lot or the nap really helped. That should shut that type of driver down and now you can do whatever and not have deal with that type of driver shut it down from beginning. If uncomfortable text driver " good morning i have a ton of work to catch up on or need a nap i would appreciate the quiet time. These 2 things can prevent you from having to fake wanting to talk or listen to their problems sorry couldnt think of another way to phrase it:) See if it helps it cant hurt. Headphones are great. Get in and say i had a rough day going to stick headphones on and take a nsp or relax. Driver knows you are occupied and comfortable they can concentrate on the road
I think their should be icons you can click ahead of time if you want ex. Open for conversation dont want to talk please have air on give choices of music so driver if they want can put what you like on. Good luck.
This women makes a turn, her child falls out of her moving car in her car seat. Not only was the car seat not tethered or buckled but door wasnt closed right or locked. Next time its going to be a child in an Uber or Lyft minus the car seat flying out the window or windshield. Drivers wake up this could be you. Decline riders if they have a child and no car seat. Do you want to be responsible for a child flying through your windshield or windows?

No the idiot didnt even know he dropped it. He gave it to the cashier to dump in trash:)
It does suck for drivers who all ready drive full or part time. Its difficult in some areas to get rides, wait time for rides get longer, and short rides well we all know they make you no money. As frustrating as it is people have to feed their familys and pay their bills. Hopefully once gov. gets back these people give up on driving. Regardless more and mpte people sign up everyday to drive. Market is over saturated with drivers.
Was in mini mart the other night. A guy was buying the flavored things they use to wrap their weed. A cop walked in and he started getting nervous. He paid for his stuff and got out of there quickly. Me, the clerk, and the cop look down look at each other and started laughing. Dumbass dropped his bag of weed on the floor. Cop handed it to the clerk and said "do me a favor dump that in the trash".
Agreed. I cant believe I forgot things in my long laundry list of annoying things people do when they drive:) The whole slowing down or braking ss you approach a green light is so stupid. The first time I noticed it I was dating my husband. Was driving with his mom one day and she kept doing it. When we got home I asked him why? I was shocked as I didnt think people did such foolish things (i was young):) Then again you havent met my ex mother in law:) Thought of one more thing thst is mostly but not all the time a female thing. Making a wide right turn pulling slightly (just enough to piss you off) towards the left before they actually turn.
