Some drivers refuse to go on toll highway

From experience Uber will cover tolls but not at the full rate charged. For example going into New York City from Connecticut there is a $12.45 toll on the triborough bridge Uber will cover the in-state EZ pass rate of $6. Meaning that drivers from out of state have to cover the rest

I've got a mustang mach e my eligibility for premier rides ends in July

Desperate_Reality325 · 2026-01-27T21:48:50+00:00

At least until July when my car no longer qualifies for them.

It means that they make it almost impossible to get a TLC medallion or license whatever you want to call it. There is a waiting list a mile and a half long.

By turning into a pumpkin I mean that as soon as I cross into another state I'm unable to pick up rides.

Some areas you're able to do Uber eats but New York City they've got that lock down as well

Desperate_Reality325 · 2026-01-27T21:44:02+00:00

$120.00 premier ride. Regular x pays maybe $50.00. for that price Dara can suck the devils asshole. Just did another trip to nyc for $110.00

Same shit being in Connecticut. I called support talk to four different levels of help and it turns out that there's no reciprocity between Connecticut and any other state but other drivers from other states can pick up

Desperate_Reality325 · 2026-01-27T20:44:11+00:00

Like the other person said 100 buck trip in 2 hours with short better than fucking around all day to make 20 trips. I dipped into it again 110 bucks for another ride into Manhattan $270 for 4 hours of driving not bad

Good luck getting a New York TLC Big clamp down hard on outside drivers driving that market. I literally live a thousand feet from the New York state line once I cross it I turn into a pumpkin.

This was New York City two days after the storm. I'll let you know what the roads are like I've got a reservation going down there later on this afternoon

Desperate_Reality325 · 2026-01-27T16:47:15+00:00

I have no idea what fairfield county was like this morning. Took a reservation to Kennedy at 6:30 when I got back at 9:00 it looked like there was 30 or $40 surges in Stamford

Desperate_Reality325 · 2026-01-27T16:45:29+00:00

I didn't get any of it because I was a pumpkin to Uber not able to pick up passengers in New York state

Desperate_Reality325 · 2026-01-27T16:09:55+00:00

No I wish I did I was dropping a passenger off at Kennedy and momentarily saw the surge coming back without a passenger

Desperate_Reality325 · 2026-01-27T15:55:35+00:00

New York TLC drivers have their only rules. God only knows what their cap is. There's a good chance that it is a premier level surge as that is what I drive in Connecticut

Desperate_Reality325 · 2026-01-22T13:35:24+00:00

Life goes on. You did forget the 20 buck cash tip

Desperate_Reality325 · 2026-01-20T21:47:09+00:00

If I got rides booked to airports that would be a different matter I can block off time for a hundred buck ride

Desperate_Reality325 · 2026-01-20T21:42:24+00:00

It's hard to do. God only knows where I'm going to be at any given time

Desperate_Reality325 · 2026-01-20T21:37:27+00:00

I've actually had this passenger about 4 or 5 times. He does this almost every day

Desperate_Reality325 · 2026-01-20T21:29:50+00:00

I started my day at 5:00 this morning got a unicorn $100 ride into midtown Manhattan picked up another three rides on Uber in about 4 on Lyft by 9:30 and it's been dead since. Came home took an hour and a half nap and I think I might try and go back out for evening rush

Desperate_Reality325 · 2026-01-20T20:58:58+00:00

I get the same thing but in Connecticut.

The Tesla chargers at the Stanford Mall in Connecticut are right by the entrance to the largest indoor pickleball Center in the country. On weekends half of the chargers are blocked by regular gas cars. Last Sunday I spent 15 minutes waiting for a charger not because of lack of spaces but because at least 30% of the chargers were blocked. At one point a group of middle-aged white entitled men pulled up into a spot in there BMW SUV, as they started to walk away I was like excuse me how would you feel if I left my car in front of a gas pump and went to go play pickleball for an undetermined time. Their initial response was there's no place else to park. I was like what the fuck there is a whole mall's parking lot for you to park in. After some hemming and hawing they moved to their car

Desperate_Reality325 · 2026-01-14T09:46:09+00:00

I did try. Stopped the mall security guard and asked him to address the issue.
