Is the price quote for sharing a rid per person or for the total trip price?

A day in the life of an Uber, Lyft and Juno driver who makes about $6,000 a month in NYC [CNBC]

Posted by AsStibelDude 654 Driver in Rideshare News (12 comments )

This is pre-covid, but gosh, this is sort of article that sets the wrong expectation for new drivers and the public. Everyone thinks us drivers are swimming in money.$6000 x 12 = $72,000. Working six days a week. It's super misleading though, because it requires long hours (11 hours on weekdays and 8+ hours on Saturdays) and it doesn't consider for expenses.https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/30/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-full-time-uber-lyft-and-juno-driver-in-nyc.html

It's time to call Rideshare what it is: Taxi

Posted by Samarov 1445 Rider in Angry Drivers (17 comments )

Riding my bike around Chicago these days I'm always wary of cars pulled over, idling by the curb, or, more often, blocking the bike lane. A few years ago most of these obstacles in my path were clearly identifiable by their markings—they were taxis. Now it's much more difficult to tell public vehicles from private. But from my many years as a cabdriver I can still catch the telltale signs. Though the only outward thing to give them away is an airplane decal on the back window, a dumb pink mustache or that ominous U on the dash, the drivers' …

Uber Drivers: How Far Will You Drive To Pick-Up A Fare Not Knowing Their Destination?

Posted by Goodideasll 210 Driver in Ask a Driver (31 comments )

Uber Drivers: How Far Will You Drive To Pick-Up A Fare Without Knowing Their Destination? Okay, here’s what happened today to me - I signed on to my Driver Uber App and a Premium Destination popped up. I accepted the pick-up and app informed me that the customer was 27 minutes and 13 miles away. I drove there , it took about 22 minutes. I picked up client at her house , pressed my App for the drop-off Destination , and saw that drop-off was 1 mile away. I chatted with the lady, dropped her off and headed back to …

What do drivers do if the passenger falls asleep in the backseat or passes out from being drunk? While driving must be okay, but what about once you get to the destination?

Posted by ClayClaymore 122 Rider in Ask a Driver (19 comments )

Has that happened to you? I am deathly afraid of falling asleep on any transportation such as trains, buses, and cabs.

As a ride share driver, what is your worst nightmare?

Posted by fpressly 4084 Rider Driver in Ask a Driver (36 comments )

Being wrongly accused and not having proof to the contrary. With dashcam and two other hidden cameras and five audio pickups, I hope to have that resolved.

What is the "cleaning fees" and "vomit" SCAM by Uber drivers? Should I be concerned? How do I avoid them?

I heard from my nephew that Uber drives are sometimes so desperate to make money that they would randomly charge cleaning fees for no reason whatsoever. Is this true? What can I do to stop it or make sure it doesn't happen.

Uber - Time is Soon - ready to go back to taxis yet?

Posted by WasabiNuts 40 in Angry Riders (3 comments )

I feel like we reaching that point and have been for a long time. We all tried to like something and worked hard to make the transition, but this whole thing is overcomplicated and all the arrangement we made are starting to backfire. Maybe it's time we reverted back to taxis or just decide already the winner between taxis and Uber and moved on. Let me share my experience.I landed at Logan Airport the other day. I called for an Uber as I walked inside the terminal thinking I am all that. I stepped out into the cold and …
