I left the time on the screenshots. First to last, five minutes apart. It would've taken me longer to drive there.

I'm personally prepared to call every day until I see this being covered by the news.

Feel free to belittle me for the use of AI to make this flyer, idgaf anymore. I refuse to let them get away with their scams. The bot they use to report issues with orders is not sufficient or efficient and results in loss of funds for drivers as well as the customers who use these services.

What would you do?

Accepted a decent $10 ride for 4 miles. Went to the pickup and Uber takes me to the back parking lot of a hotel and yet the pick up pin is on train tracks randomly in the woods. Customer not answering and timer for cancelling not starting because of where the pin is and supposedly I’m “not at the pickup spot” so do I just cancel and take a hit?

Portland OR Help

1 Upvotes

Any drivers from Portland OR? I am trying to get signed up and I am struggling to complete the instructions Uber gives for registering with the city. I have reached out to both Portland Gov and Uber Help and still stuck. I am trying to make some extra cash to support my family during these hard times and could use someone's help. Can someone message me or reply to this thread? Thanks in advance.

Driver not the driver in profile

0 Upvotes

I am in the car with a person (female) who is not the person in the profile (male). I feel safe. She has been on the phone and driving pretty aggressive.

My worry is if I report the driver she knows where I live.

Any advice?

Riders with no child seats.

Once a driver cancels a rider for not having a child seat, why does Uber immediately try to reassign that driver to the same rider.

And why does Uber not issue a warning to the rider. Or suspend the rider after multiple cancellations for this important safety issue.

I did it without being involved in a road rage incident!🤣

So the benefit to me is...

  1. If a rider lies about unsafe driving, I'm hoping Uber AI laughs at them. I record my rides through the app.

  2. Driving within CMT parameters is resulting in me averaging 55 - 56 MPG from my Hyundai Sonata Hybrid blue. I like to save!

  3. Most of my driving is in town with traffic 🚦 signals. I get a proper belly laugh when idiots race around me and then hard stop at the 🚦. Is the IQ of drivers really that low?

Update: our pay fight reached the FTC and the DC Council — now I need Florida drivers willing to help push

2 Upvotes

South Florida Uber driver here — the one who's been pushing the Florida Rideshare Driver Fairness Act (pay floor, 30% cap on the company's cut, fare transparency, deactivation appeals). Here's where things stand, and then a real ask at the end.

WHAT'S HAPPENED SINCE THE STUDY DROPPED

The Columbia study (1.8M real trip offers) put Orlando at $3.18/hr after costs — lowest of 16 cities. Since then:

• I submitted written testimony to the DC Council for their for-hire reform bill, and a follow-up on something most of us have seen in the app but never questioned: the "estimated commercial auto insurance" line in the fare breakdown. Uber's own app text admits it "does not reflect insurance expenses incurred on individual trips." A Consumer Watchdog analysis of Uber's SEC filings describes the risk as roughly 95% self-funded through Uber's own captive insurer — and one report put that "insurance" slice at around 20% of what the rider pays. Draw your own conclusions; I did.

• I filed the same material with the FTC, which has opened an industry-wide inquiry into personalized pricing and worker compensation. Its order asks, among other things, what share of each payment the platforms keep versus what drivers earn.

• After the November 3 election, I contacted every Florida legislator on our list — congratulated the ones who won, thanked the ones leaving, and introduced the bill to the brand-new members. I'll be honest: the first representative whose office really engaged with us lost her seat. That stings. But direct sponsorship asks are now sitting in front of two state senators, November is when offices pick their bills, and the session starts in March.

THE ASK

I've carried this about as far as one driver with a laptop can carry it. It moves faster with more of us. If you're a Florida driver willing to help push, here's what actually helps:

  1. Contact your own state rep and senator — a driver in THEIR district lands different than me emailing all of them. I'll give you the exact short script I use.

  2. Post your worst fare split — rider price vs. your pay. That's the evidence that makes this real.

  3. Show up (by phone counts) when offices agree to talk. Offices notice when more than one driver calls.

Comment your city if you're in. If you're in another state, the FTC inquiry is national, and so is the model we're pushing — one federal floor, adjusted for local costs and gas prices.

We're not asking for charity. We're asking for a floor under honest work.

Customers Changing Destination

1 Upvotes

Last night, I accepted an easy ride for about $1.50/minute. Immediately upon accepting, the customer changed the destination. Because I couldn't see the new destination, I canceled. Maybe they just got the address wrong, or maybe they'd been having trouble getting anyone to accept a ride to an undesirable location and decided to pull a bait-and-switch.

Does anyone know if there's a way to see the new destination before picking up the customer? I'd hate to cancel on someone who made an honest mistake, but since I didn't know where the ride was going, I wasn't gonna take my chances.
