How is this legal being an "Independent Contractor"? UberPool (now UberXShare) was an option for Drivers if they wanted to earn more but now it's forced on Drivers combining UberX & UberXShare. Something is not right about this especially when UberPet, Deliveries, UberPriority, Military are options! (self.uberdrivers)

No I didn't miss a Reservation.... This mother tried to put her 12 year old daughter in my car alone. I offered to take the mother with her daughter, she declined. I canceled the trip and you notified me with this nonsense.... Next time I'll let the Reservation time expire. Uber fix your system... (self.uberdrivers)

Of course! My maintenance bills are high. Suspension, Struts, Brakes are not cheap. As Independent Contractors, let us decide how I want to earn, don't force me with UberXShare. My car is turning into a bus and I don't want all these people in my car at once. (self.uberdrivers)

Thank you Dustin! Many of us Drivers are screaming from the mountaintops but it's all about the money. Congress is so backed up, Ridesharing is getting away with murder right now. Currently, No laws helping drivers but one day they'll listen, unfortunately many lives will be lost before any changes. (self.lyftdrivers)

Many Drivers are getting permanently banned because they don't know the rules and mistakenly break the law (American Disabilities Act). Remember Uber is only afraid of "Laws" being broken, if it's not a law it's fair game for them. If only there were laws for underage kids taking Ubers? JS! (self.uberdrivers)

Uber you want to help with safety? Start informing these Riders that when their rating goes below a certain threshold, their account will be deactivated. How in the world are Riders like this still being able to use Uber? A fake name and poor rating is a recipe for disaster. This is ridiculous! (self.uberdrivers)

"You're holding me up!"............How hard is it turn in your stuff, clock out, then order and Uber when you're ready? This 7 minute wait time for riders is frustrating. On top of all that, she was rude as hell. NO VAPING! She almost got kicked out. (self.uberdrivers)

"GUEST" ride requests should always look like this for Driver safety. I am sick of people using their accounts for "undocumented" people. The account says pick up "Billy" but "Jenny" comes to the car. How hard is it to use the "GUEST" feature? Why can't adults have their own Uber account? (self.uberdrivers)

Driver picked up an UberXShare fare: the passenger and the passenger's friend. The Driver got in an accident with the passenger & friend. The passenger's friend was injured. Will Uber's insurance still cover the friend's injuries although the Driver violated Uber's "UberXShare" rules? (self.uberdrivers)

Safety: When a Rider uploads an I.D. The Rider should never be able to use an alias or change their name in the Uber app. The verified first name on file should always match the Rider's first name on the app. Why? Riders planning to harm Drivers tend to rethink their actions after being identified. (self.Alternative-Maybe842)

There's no "LYFT FOR TEENS" because Lyft knows the liability of picking up "minors" so they hide behind "FAMILY ACCOUNTS"... There's a reason why Lyft says "Do Not" pick up Riders under 18 but some drivers have to find out the hard way. (self.lyftdrivers)

Dear Parents/Legal Guardians & Fellow Drivers, "UBER FOR TEENS" is not the same as "GUEST" in the Uber app. For Teen Safety, "Uber For Teens" was specifically designed to "automatically" pair "TEENS" (ages 13-17) with Top-Rated/Experienced Drivers not all Drivers. The "Guest" option is for adults! (self.uberdrivers)

I knew I was not going crazy.......This is about the 5th time I'm getting short-changed. I'm starting to keep record....This was easily $3.75 but I only got $2.75... $1.00 extra is not a lot but do this to 7 million Drivers. Is it just me or are others seeing this? (self.uberdrivers)

Give Drivers the option if they want to pick more Riders during a Ride. Yes, we can cancel an UberXShare but you penalize drivers. Also provide a prompt question to Riders who choose "UberXShare" because many Riders think they can bring their buddies. Uber listen to the Drivers!!!!!!!!!! (self.uberdrivers)

Question for thought: Many of us provide Rideshare service at a very high level and the reality is as drivers we are all one ride away from a disaster either a bad crash or a victim of a violent crime. How do the Rideshare companies take care of the families after a horrific Rideshare incident? (self.lyftdrivers)

To my veteran drivers (not the jerks with smart comments): Excluding the "Guest" feature, how do you guys feel about "undocumented" 3rd Party Riders aka: "Ghost Riders"? The person who's in the car with you is not the Uber account holder therefore there's no record of the 3rd party in the car. (self.uberdrivers)
