Jitney

Posted by Samarov 1442 Rider in Ask a Driver (5 comments )

The first time I heard the word jitney was in Boston in 1993. I was twenty-three years old at the time and had just become a licensed Boston cabdriver. A hack.A jitney was an unlicensed cab you could call in Dorchester or Roxbury or Mattapan. For a flat fee, they’d take you where you needed to go. Jitneys existed in cities like Boston because they were segregated and regular cabs wouldn’t pick up in black neighborhoods. They were an underground economy the city knew about but did nothing to stop. Because stopping it might mean having to address the ...

Dash Cameras

What criteria do people use when looking to buy a camera for driving ride-share? Trying to decide if I'm looking for the right things or if there's something I'm not considering.

Uber Eats or Doordash: Can a restaurant cancel a driver (or request a new one) if they have had issues with the driver before?

Posted by SSandler75 85 in Ask a RideGuru (4 comments )

or do they not even know until the driver walks in the door to pick up the food? Perhaps they don't get such a choice.

Chicago taxicab king no more: Empire of mogul linked to Daley son, ex-Trump fixer has crumbled

Posted by Samarov 1442 Rider in Rideshare Scams (1 comment )

I rented cabs from this crook for a couple years. One car had a hole nearly a foot wide right near the engine block where salt had eaten away at the metal. It was one of many decommissioned NYC cabs that Garber carted to Chicago and repainted and put on the street.

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 74 in Ask a Driver (60 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?

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

Posted by StuffinMuffin 843 Driver Rider in Tips from Rideshare Experts & Bloggers (30 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 ...

I Am Temporarily (I Hope!) De-Activated Because Lyft Support Is Stupid! Lyft Says My Background Check Is Ongoing But If They Look - I Was APPROVED TWO MONTHS AGO!

Posted by Goodideasll 198 Driver (18 comments )

I am temporarily (I hope!) de-activated from Lyft while they say they conduct an ongoing background check, I have been driving for Lyft since May of 2019. When I try to sign on to drive on the Lyft Driver platform, it says I am not approved to drive. But when I look at their update on the background check, it says I have been approved to drive. This was two months ago! Everytime I communicate withLyft Support, they tell me that they will clear this up expeditiously. Yet, here we are - TWO MONTHS LATER waiting for their ‘help’! I ...
