  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 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 ...

  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 Driver App not working... I think... it is getting really bad - anyone else???

  Posted by wraiththe 160 Driver in Ask the Drivers (5 comments )

  HI,    My Uber driver app has been horribly messing up.   FIrst I thought it was my phone, so I had it replaced... It messed up, so I tried a newer phone... It messed up.   Sometimes the Uber Driver App fails to start the trip until it is half way over, then they rip me off on the fare.  Or the app stops tracking the ride in the middle of the trip... and I cannot find my way and there are mileage discrepancies...   This is such a hassle.  I have had more trips messed up than good this last week.   A ...

  As Uber, Slack, And Airbnb Prepare For IPOs, Investors Should Compare These Firms To...Whom? [SeekingAlpha]

  Posted by SmittenKitten 1633 Rider in Rideshare News (0 comments )

  Companies use peer groupings to calculate executive compensation; investors use peer groupings to compare performance to similar industries.But tech firms are hard to classify because they impact so many industries.Uber already delivers food and other merchandise to customers but is also heavily investing in autonomous cars. So should we compare it to Amazon or GM?"Uber, which is likely to go public this year, has already disrupted several industries and have expanded beyond on demand car service into e-commerce, food delivery, tourism, scooters, and autonomous vehicles."https://seekingalpha.com/article/4241760-uber-slack-airbnb-prepare-ipos-investors-compare-firms

  My Theory regarding the NYC MTA ride surcharge . What is your thoughts ?

  Posted by Bigfrank 291 Driver Driver Rider in Ask the Riders (3 comments )

  My theory is the two beauties  Cuomo & the mayor preplanned this surcharge well in advance while stuffing their pockets and eventually screwing ride share like Uber. The MTA has been cooking the books for years  and  I know personally people who would attest to that fact.  Now for the plan :  They take graft  from Uber &  Lyft  flood the streets with TLC drivers  ,lower the standards to be a driver  ,   increase negative revenue from the drivers ,push down the medallion value and then pause.  What happens : Drivers commit suicide, cause accidents ,  prolongs response time for emergency vehicles  , promote pollution ...
