I use Uber/Lyft a lot, often taking the pool or line to work. Uber has recently given me a 30% discount up to $6.00 on Uber X which means that it's often cheaper than pool. I live in the DC area and my commute is about four miles. I have a 4.9 rating. This morning something happened to me that was very odd. I called an Uber X and it showed arrival in 2 minutes. I saw the driver arrive in front of my house stop the car, I opened my front door and began to walk out, the driver looked right at me and started to drive away. The app indicated that I was on the trip, when clearly I was not and then the driver cancelled a few seconds later. I had to call another Uber and by that time the price had increased and I had to wait another 5 minutes. I have never had this happen before. The driver looked right at me, I live in a residential area, it was not busy and there was no way there could be any confusion. I reported to Uber. I did not have heavy bags, luggage, I did not have any animals with me. I am a well dressed professional business woman. Why would this happen? Has this happened to anyone before? I did not get charged the fee so clearly he took the hit on it.
Driver saw me and drove away
