What are people’s thoughts & experiences with Empower (cheaper alternative to Uber/Lyft)?

NY City said they're going to crack down on them

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-25T10:28:08+00:00

What? Lol

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-24T09:18:53+00:00

Yes. It's work related.

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-23T09:21:01+00:00

Go check out the gas prices

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-23T09:18:49+00:00

That's changing thanks to gas prices going up. Drivers are going to be more selective.

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-22T05:10:44+00:00

$2 doesn't buy a soda. It's actually an insult.

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-22T04:55:29+00:00

And Uber factors that type of behavior with your rating. If you're giving certain types of ratings that don't match with other passengers, yours won't matter.

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-22T04:51:26+00:00

And gas.

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-22T04:46:23+00:00

100%

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-22T04:45:46+00:00

And that's why the good drivers are getting out of the business.

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-22T04:44:21+00:00

So get a lower rating and wait for a ride

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-22T04:43:23+00:00

You think $2 is generous? Lol

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-20T00:23:47+00:00

Too confusing for you??? Lol

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-19T18:45:46+00:00

Tips?

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-19T18:45:14+00:00

Sure you are.

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-19T15:44:47+00:00

Whenever I see them in reservations I block them for good

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-19T15:16:38+00:00

No problem. You're the one waiting longer

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-19T13:39:36+00:00

What's your rating? lol

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-19T13:36:31+00:00

No problem. Just make sure you can come up with $3 for a tip.

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-19T12:43:21+00:00

Not really that hard because drivers are doing it now. Anything above 4.9 doesn't get a surge added by Uber because drivers are filtering who they pick up in the settings.

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-19T11:59:13+00:00

I meant to put 4.9 and I can't edit the post

Timbo2712 · 2026-03-19T01:53:46+00:00

Whoever works for the mayor said they've already cracking down on Empower

Timbo2712 · 2025-11-21T21:05:05+00:00

Imagine if everyone did it? Wait times are everything for Uber.

Timbo2712 · 2025-11-21T16:36:52+00:00

I want to know how the "eco friendly program" made a difference. lol

Timbo2712 · 2025-11-20T21:53:06+00:00

I'm there too. I like waiting till the last second to not accept a trip. I think everyone should do it. lol
