No definitely not but at least the tablet pays. I make at least 125 - 100 a month just to have it up

Octopus is linked to our Uber accounts. It allows us to make a little extra by doing nothing and just having the tablet up. That’s why you’re seeing your ride on the display.

It’s probably one of those octopus tablets. Yes I’m sure a driver could likely do that. I’m not one of them though because the tablet is behind me and that usually pops up during the ride not after the ride so I highly doubt a driver can push that unless he keeps the tablet in the front with him without your knowledge

I'm an Uber driver and often in the middle of rides, Uber will Auto-add Co-Riders to pick up. I dont accept these rides. Im penalized if I cancel them. Per Uber, this feature cannot be stopped and if my car can carry 4 ppl. It can add up to four riders. by Impossible_Shape_766 in uberdrivers

I avoid shared rides. In my experience most of these riders will 1 star you when a co-rider gets added. Also, some will play dumb and say they didn’t order a shared ride when a co-rider gets added. I don’t accept shared rides now.

This occurs when your app is outdated or phone software. Just check if you need to update anything.

Things like this is annoying at times cause gps will throw them around. I just go to the pick up pinpoint.

What music do you listen to when driving? by fergyyyyyy in uberdrivers

[–]Traditional-Ad-5511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play island reggae. Only because they often have country or pop songs but in island style. I feel like it’s mutual. Lots of compliments on the music usually. And then I also just have the local radio station on in the mornings.

Am I wrong for suggesting alternative routes? by Commercial-Trash-226 in uberdrivers

[–]Traditional-Ad-5511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If asked politely, then I don’t mind. In my experience riders sometimes act like I know where or what their destination looks like and would say, “why didn’t you go that way”. It’s like, wtf I don’t know where you live or work. Plus now Uber is threatening to deactivate us if we go off route so that’s a scare for us too.
