Octopus Tablet

Posted by momof4 8115 Rider Driver in Ask a Driver (22 comments )

Any drivers out there have any thoughts or experience on using the Octopus Tablet???

Hope drivers dont fall for this! Drivers will end up working for free. Is there anything this company wont do to screw over drivers???

Posted by momof4 8115 Rider Driver in Angry Drivers (2 comments )

Just another way to not pay drivers. The interest will be so high drivers will be driving for weeks to pay loan off. Is there anything this company wont do? Dara must be getting desperate to turn a profit. Cant hold investors off forever. Dara has money now he is out for power. Wants to see his name everywhere. Talk about ego. This dude will stop at nothing. It's awful what they have done all ready with their leasing program.

Driver: Teresa in Belmont - Help!

Posted by kevygrl9 Driver in Ask a Driver (2 comments )

Hello, do any of you know a Lyft (and probably also Uber) driver named Teresa who was driving in San Francisco, CA on Saturday night (December 7, 2019) and then went to Belmont, CA after (thank you, FindMyPhone)? I left my cell phone in her car, and Lyft has been awful in its inability to contact her and let her know she has my phone in her car. COULD YOU PLEASE REFER HER TO THIS POST? I really need my phone - it's incredibly critical I get it back immediately. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. The only ...

Rideshare Driver Questionnaire

Posted by Rosshy111 1 Driver in Ask a Driver (5 comments )

Hi. My name is Ross. I’m a rideshare driver and a student. I’m researching how rideshare drivers navigate breaks. Immediately after I began driving for Uber and Lyft, I realized how difficult it can be to take a break, especially when I needed a bathroom. I’m looking for a way to improve the process of taking a bathroom break, specifically for the rideshare community. I would greatly appreciate if you could take 2 minutes to fill out the following brief survey:https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PQ86TFMAll responses are confidential. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to me ...

Uber drivers seeing Surge Amt. on their maps but what is Uber really charging the rider? Where is all that money going? I can tell you.

Posted by momof4 8115 Rider Driver in Angry Drivers (0 comments )

I've seen this on 2 other occassions when my kids call me for a ride. This all started back in the Summer of 2018 possibly further back. This past Saturday night my son & his gf were at his Christmas party in CC Philadelphia an area that frequently surges on the weekends. I get a phone call asking me if I was in the area because Uber wanted $65.71 for the ride. The ride down was $24.48. When surge went off the ride was $23.98. The drivers app showed a surge of $6.50 with a 3 for $3.50 consecutive ride ...

Can a parent order Uber or Lyft for a teenager? My kids?

Posted by JessMin99 147 in Ask a RideGuru (80 comments ) 1 guru answer

Is that legit? or better yet, legal? I am not breaking the terms of using the Uber account as I am the one with the account and credite card. I have three children and I'd love to utilize Uber or Lyft. Safe too.
