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

  Posted by JessMin99 131 in Ask a RideGuru (65 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.

  Posted by momof4 6502 Rider Driver in Ask the Drivers (44 comments )

I know the staff there and speak with them fequently.  About 3am Monday morning I am done so I stop to clean my car and get gas for following night. One of the workers says that the car at the pump has been there for awhile with a female sleeping. So ...

  I took a cab last week and I lost my lower dentures here in Omaha Nebraska. I rode with Uber on Wednesday and Thursday. Hopefully someone will find them so I don't have to buy new ones. Tom

  New Surge System Revolt Cleveland, OH

  Posted by Wes 1263 Rider Driver in Ask the Drivers (5 comments )

  Did you catch the national news story out of Cleveland, OH?  The new surge system just rolled into town and amidst much misinformation there is a large collection of very unhappy drivers with a "meeting at the hub" planned for tomorrow from what I'm hearing.So what has the reaction been in your market once the new surge system arrived?  It would seem to me (as a driver) that while we all want to maximize our incomes and few drivers have any concern for the dozens of other drivers that may have been waiting for a ping within the ...

  Uber Sues New York - yet again!

  Posted by Wes 1263 Rider Driver in Ask the Drivers (7 comments )

  So what do you think Drivers - Uber goes at it again in New York.  Uber is suing New York City over a licensing cap, claiming the council's year-long suspension of new permits is anticompetitive. The cap was designed to cut down on traffic and help taxi drivers whose trade has been hurt by the increase in ride-hail drivers. The number of licenses is up 60% since 2016, to 106,000. The city also set a minimum hourly wage for ride-hail drivers — prompting Uber rival Lyft to sue earlier this year.

  Uber no longer looks unstoppable. Slowing down [Quartz]

  Posted by SmittenKitten 1633 Rider in Rideshare News (1 comment )

  "The ride-hail company generated $14.2 billion in bookings in the quarter ended December 31 — which includes what customers spend on Uber rides, Uber Eats orders, and other Uber services. Uber reported $3 billion in revenue, which is roughly the share of bookings the company is left with after paying out wages to drivers and delivery people. Both those figures — up from the same period a year earlier — represented Uber’s slowest growth rate for 2018. Uber lost $865 million in the latest quarter, down from a loss of $1.07 billion in the third quarter of 2018. The deceleration ...
