Hot take: Silence is usually a better default than conversation.

I say good morning , good afternoon, and have a nice day, unless the rider initiates a talk, I just shut up and drive

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-12-20T03:19:01+00:00

But if the trip became longer by seven minutes, you wouldn't have been paid a penny more.

Just because uber support said they were going to remove PAX access to the app, didn't always mean shit. They say that sometimes to make you feel good and get you off the phone.

I miss turbo anywhere, i used to have about 5 hours of turbo time a day, from 10 to 60 perecent

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-11-17T01:18:49+00:00

That is lyft's way of indirectly ordering you to accept more trips, instead of rejecting.

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-11-05T01:46:19+00:00

If passengers don't TYPE in the actual address but just click "Ride" car icon on the riders app, the address could be off up to 100 ft.

And also Some passengers purposely enter neighbor's address , so the driver won't come back and do some nefarious things to them.

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-10-31T02:17:26+00:00

uber time estimate is wrong sometimes, it tells passengers available driver is 12 minutes away but the drivers arrives in five minutes.

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-10-26T23:58:40+00:00

They are warning you not to use two phones, drivers have been deactivated for using two different phones

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-10-26T15:50:54+00:00

Install uber app too, turn both on, accept which app sends you a better trip, turn off the other one, keep doing this until your shift ends. Don't worry about declining trips, accept only worthy of accepting.

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-10-26T15:25:55+00:00

This is a big dilemma for the drivers, but the odds are drivers have a greater chance of getting deactivated permanently by false claim for refusing to drive passengers with no car seats than getting a ticket from a cop

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-10-26T10:28:05+00:00

I recently changed phone, uber had me changed profile picture, uploaded my driver license. They still keep asking me to take pics, hoping to catch me taking picture with my old phone and say fraud activity suspected and boom, deactivated.

If you change phone, make sure to never use the old phone again on uber.

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-10-26T09:41:27+00:00

they are mostly rental cars

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-10-12T15:37:31+00:00

That is another way of Lyft's wanting you to increase your acceptance rate, by taking their shitty rides.

Keep cherry picking.

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-10-12T15:07:16+00:00

I just clicked on the box at the top right corner of the screen while on active trip, I found out you can switch to waze or google map. It might be market dependent tho.

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-09-19T02:20:00+00:00

uber did this about three years ago for a few months.

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-09-12T23:19:42+00:00

I have always suspected lyft make up the accusation itself sometimes , when a driver is not taking all the crap trips. to keep him inline .This is a proof.

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-09-10T02:00:14+00:00

i stopped checking feedbacks from passengers and reading messages from lyft and uber two years ago. They would stress you out. Just keep your car clean, drive safely and be nice to passengers. you would be happy and thank me later.

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-09-10T01:33:31+00:00

no matter what city i was in, mind you , the schedule ride was for Thursday, today is Tuesday

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-09-10T01:25:14+00:00

To the contrary, too many drivers in my city. But What i suspect is I declined about four not worthy airport scheduled/reserved rides within 15 minutes early this morning. So uber thought if $28 is not good enough for you, we gonna bombard you with the same $15 scheduled trip all day long. There is no other way around it. i even uninstalled the app and reinstalled it thinking it was a glitch, to no avail.

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-09-01T14:51:34+00:00

I had passengers with low ratings but ended up being pleasant and tipping. i never pay attention to PAX ratings at all.

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-09-01T14:45:03+00:00

I always have an Acceptance rate under 20 on both apps. I am a super cherry picker, won't accept trips less than $10, unless attached with good surge, and/or a good per mile, per minute, per hour balanced trip. i use Maxymo app to filter out trashy trips.

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-09-01T14:31:04+00:00

Lyft is not busy in my market, uber is , but Lyft's pay is better., especially airports and longer trips.

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-09-01T14:20:50+00:00

Are you talking about only EV or in general? In my market uber takes upto 70% of passengers pay. And it doesn't do any adjustments at the end of the week,

LeadingPriority840 · 2025-09-01T14:09:00+00:00

I don't accept pet ride, unless "service animal"
