Have shoes and shirt on.
and a long-haired wig helps for when the driver is pulling up. You wanna look as harmless as possible.
I a a driver and I don't discriminate passengers. I know some do and go too out of the way to do so (to be discriminate), but that isn't me. I don't think I can judge them based on the limited information I get the request.
It's more the distance we have to drive. What's broken with the system is that we get a request from several miles and minutes away only to be awarded a 2 mile ride, resulting in a negligible profit. I know that isn't the rider's fault, but we cannot keep doing this as drivers.
There is something wrong with the system when you have to ask this.
I am sure having a white name like, "Bill" or "Jennifer" helps.
I thought the drivers don't see pax names?
umm, yes. Haven't the drivers asked you who you are?
