  Does my uber driver know that I requested a pool ride? Are they mad about it?

  I am wondering if my Uber driver knows I requested an UberPool (the cheaper option?) instead of an Uberx. Sometimes …

  A camera in the car is always a way that you can feel safe. This way people are less likely to do something bad if they think their actions are being recorded.

   6 years ago in  Are there minimum miles when using Uber or Lyft?

  Well, there is a minimum that a passenger has to pay so short trips shouldn't be a problem right? It's not like I could take an Uber 2 blocks and pay $2. I think the minimum is $5 or something like that (which is worth it for only driving 2 blocks if you ask me). I could be wrong though.

  Uber is already offering scooter rides via their app in some cities in the U.S.. There are 3 main players in the industry right now: Bird, Skip, and Lime. Bird and Lime both have at least $1B in funding. Skip has about 500 million. Did segways have that much funding when they first came out?

  From what I understand, these scooters would NOT replace car transportation, but rather transportation that would previously been walking. It is nice for shorter distances. 

  Late for a meeting 10 blocks away? Grab a scooter!

   6 years ago in  Is it true that people use Uber and Lyft instead of the Subway?

  Yes, definitely!! That is probably the number one thing people use when they don't feel like taking a subway. Although, sometimes the traffic is so bad I'd rather get on a crowded train...

  Surge pricing is in effect both of those times so it probably doesnt matter

  The biggest thing Uber is going through right now is that self-driving car crash that happened a while back. It was just released that the car actually made the decision not to stop for the pedestrian (what?). More information about the crash here..

   6 years ago in  There was a pile of dog poo in the back of my Uber this weekend. We didn't realize until we got out, and the driver charged us for it???

  I know drivers want to earn as much money as possible, but I think after driving for a bunch of hours in a row they should take a break to clean out their car, organize things a bit, and avoid situations like this happening in the future.

   6 years ago in  For companies like Safr, is it that the drivers or the riders that are women? ...or both?

  I always thought a women-only rideshare company was a little bit strange, and they would definitely be missing out on a huge market. But it's great that they do not discriminate.. must make their matching algorithm that more difficult! And I can imagine it takes longer to get paired with a driver as well.

   6 years ago in  Can someone explain the $5 cancellation fee for Uber?

  THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!! I see it cross my street on the app and totally forget to turn. You should dispute the charge. I do that almost every time they try to charge me. It looks like they credit to my account every time.

  Apparently Uber is partnering with Walmart to do just that - they'll deliver your groceries for you. I'm surprised I've never heard of it before, they should advertise more!
