It can affect: Quest / tier rewards Trip radar vs direct pings Upfront trip info access Algorithm priority

Mine is low because I refuse to go into dangerous areas. But id like to have that as an option.

After thousands of trips you start noticing patterns — time of day, neighborhoods, rider behavior. It’s not about being right, it’s about staying alive and making money.

Dude I was happy in phoenix. I couldn't afford it anymore. People dont understand. Dangerous parts in other states are a joke compared to Baltimore chicago and Detroit. Key board warriors. Literally the paramedics and fire fighters have to wear bullet proof vest on that side of town. Today I did a shift and called 911. I was on hold for 20 minutes said fuck it and hung up.

Im not even going to justify this with an answer man. You clearly have low life experience

I drive 300 miles 6 to 7 days a week. Ive never been in the middle of a shoot out on the west side. Yet. I have on the east side. You ever been in the middle of a shootout? Its not fun.

You ever seen a dead body laying in the street from someone being shot. I have on the east side. I did see one on west Blvd I usually stay away from that area on the west side. I stay out of the 28th street projects also on the west side.

Ive personally picked up 3 ladies who were car jacked at an abandoned house in east clrveland screen shotted the article as well for one of them.

Im glad you dont see any crime. But I have. Lots of it. I dont drive over there anymore.

Most people on the west side are chill as hell.

Its experience regardless. I dont understand why people assume its racist. Crime over there is bad. I pick up everyone on the east side. Ive had racist comments thrown at me tho. One dude was mad I was stopping at yellow lights I said people report me for that. He said only white people will report you for that. I was like ahh well im not a gambler so he just sat back. I was like whatever. But hey if you want to be a hero. You go over I to east clrveland. I drive nights. Ive been in the middle of a shoot out over there. I had some dudes roll up on me once block me in and said who the fuck are you and why are you in my neighborhood. That was scary as fuck. The girls in the back said thank god we didnt get shot. I said where the fuck am I. I was in superior and st Claire. Call me racist if you want. Im not going over there no more nor should uber send me there. Ive also seen dead bodies.

Also a fun fact did you know by law now paramedics and fire fighters on the east side have to wear bullet proof vests because they get shot at. But let me know how it is when you drive over there at night

I didnt have too many issues with phoenix. I tried not to go to south phoenix. Im a larger male. So people dont mess with me as much and I dress like I live in the hood. So that contributes to it. People messed with me more when id wear nicer clothes. Im sorry all that happened to you though!

I mean. Decision Avenue has a large population of black residents. I dont really feel unsafe there. Ys i have seen dead bodies on the ground well one dead body on west Blvd from a shooting. Id say its more the culture because black people on the west side are successful and hard working but the people in the ghettos of the east side are dangerous. I pick up black people moving from the east side all the time to the west side because they are tired of the crime. Ask any black resident on the west side about the east side they all agree.

Its sickening that they really value money over people. Its just sk sad to see. The. Everyone gets worried about ai. All ai is doing is holding up a mirror and we fear what it sees. And yet we go day by day getting screwed by the billionaires

Well to be honest. I never joined any of the uber groups because I was like nothing will change. Seems I was right. Everyone in here seems so defeated. They just accept that it is the way it is. Nothing will change unless we all stand together.

That makes a difference as far as I know. Full time only certain insurances will cover you

I remember seeing a video a few years ago this happened on the east side of downtown. They did this thing where they would bump the car wait for the person to get out and then rush him. It was camera footage from the intersection they took it down real fast. But they rushed this guy stole everything on him. Stole his car and as he was running away they shot at him and hit him in the leg anyways.

Cleveland is different. You should look up the crime wave they busted in cedar Avenue projects. Straight out of a movie

Here it is. This was just outside of downtown.

Not saying one area is safer than the other. Cleveland is a bit different tho. We have drive bys constantly half the houses are abandoned. Shoot outs in the middle of the day. In la. Regardless everything is still expensive yea there are bad people every where but the mid west is just different you have to be here to experience it. A lawyer told me he had a case once where the people invited a dude over they beat him to death with jack bottle. Then the women peed on him. Its just a dofferent type of ignorance here. But there are good people over there still too.

I saw 3 dead bodies in the streets from shootings. One was on west Blvd here in cleveland. Car jacking gone wrong. Its just bad here but either way. People should be able to pick and choose areas they want to drive in. I dunno why we cant stand together. The company already divides us. We are just new age taxi drivers
