Lyft left her stranded!

Posted by cbfigment 5 in Ask a RideGuru (4 comments )

I am so disgusted with Lyft. My daughter flew back to college arriving late on Sunday night at Portland airport. Earlier in the day she had booked a ride from the airport to her campus with Lyft so she would have a guarnateed ride back. Once she landed and disembarked the plane her Lyft ride had been canceled. Not only had her ride been canceled but she was expected to wait an hour and 15 minutes for another driver to show up and get her. There was no reason given for the cancellation - just canceled. She was not alone …

Can I ask my Uber driver to NOT record me with his webcam? If I do not want to be recorded, shouldn't I be able to request that?

Posted by NancyStride 75 in Ask a Driver (73 comments )

Even calling into a customer service call (at a bank or whatever), we have the choice of asking not to be recorded. What about with rideshares like Uber and Lyft? I understand that the car is a private property, and drivers have the rights to record inside their cabin. However, do I have the right to not be recorded upon request?

Infant Car seats

Is it possible when booking an Uber to the airport to make sure they have an infant carseat? Which is a rear facing car seat. If so, how would I do that? Can I also book an Uber in advance? The quote was 166 for the locations I put in, would that need change the rate drastically?

The more you use Uber, the more expensive it gets. (Upfront Pricing)

Posted by StuffinMuffin 863 Rider Driver in Tips from Rideshare Experts & Bloggers (46 comments )

I figured this would be the case. With the introduction of upfront pricing, Uber can charge customers anything they want. They will ask for any amount riders are willing to pay. I have heard cases where during the hours when the business users are out, the overall fare goes up. Trips to and from airports? You guessed it. It'll go up because people are willing to pay. All the cheap Uber fares that we have gotten accustomed to are about to go out the window. Regulators and law makers who shoved the taxis out. Are you happy now? What about …

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

Posted by Samarov 1448 Rider in Angry Drivers (19 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' …
