Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US
Turret3857@infosec.pub 1 week agoIf you called a taxi company that didnt do fixed rates you should have looked into them before you called. If you consider a ride “mooching” I would not want to be your friend. If your public transit isnt good enough, call your local reps and COMPLAIN.
Fuck this culture of “tipping”. I wouldnt have to fucking tip if they paid their drivers. Do you tip in cash on Uber? The driver won’t know that until they get there and you just look like a low-pay customer. Do you tip in the app? Congrats, you just tipped uber. The driver may or may not receive it. Do you verify with each driver to make sure they end up getting the money? Uber has obfuscated tipping for drivers FOR YEARS.

Why would I call them? They should have a web app at minimum. It should be on par with what the Uber app can do.
When taxis catch up, I’ll consider them.
Calling a friend to ensure myself a ride to anywhere at any time at my sole discretion and choosing is mooching if I expect that.
That doesn’t get me to where I’m going.
Agreed. I’d much rather have the whole cost of the trip paid for up front from the start. No added taxes, fees, or bonuses at any point.
I looked it up and saw that Uber was misleading/lying about a portion of the cost of a trip going to drivers. But from what I’ve read, including from Uber drivers themselves, the tips do seem to go to the driver as is paid by the passenger.
