    Coronavirus has upended the world. Reading about a disease that can make the lungs drown in fluid and put the body into septic shock is utterly terrifying. I think everyone has now imagined the horror imagery of being connected to a breathing machine, gasping for the last breaths of life...

    It's against the Uber rules/policy for anyone under 18 to use Uber (unaccompanied by an adult). In California, it's also against the law. And yet EVERY day I get ride requests for unaccompanied minors. Uber pretends to care and enforce their rules and yet they don't even have an option when...

    My rating took a hit 2 weeks ago when I told a woman that I did not have a child safety seat in my car and that by law I could not transport her child. Today I picked up a family that was staying in the downtown Bpt Holiday Inn and they had a toddler. I'm not really happy admitting this but they...

    How do you handle requests when you get there and it is someone with Littles who should be in a car seat?? For liability reasons, I'm declining rides. I'm surprised Uber seems to allow it because the response i received was that i could politely decline, not that it was against policy, though...

    Get to pick up location.. Pax and 2 others come to my car with a child probably around 3 or 4yrs old, with no car seat or booster chair. I explain that without a car seat I am unable to take the ride. Well, they all get pissed off and start yelling at me that its BS and I'm lying because every...

    Hi. I'm a new UBER driver and in my very first day, I had a request to pick up one rider (duh...). So far everything was normal, till he told me to do a shortcut to pick up two more riders. I agreed. When I arrived to pick those extra riders I was surprised because they are two small children...

    Does anyone take passengers with toddler and infants without car seats? I had a horrible experience this past Friday. Trying to help this lady out to go to the nearest metro station when turning on the ride, it was a metro station 27miles away and she refused to get out of the car. I am a...

    Since Shuddle imploded mid-April, a lot of those rides for unaccompanied minors are going to Zūm, a San Mateo startup. Zum needs drivers all over the SFBay, especially Peninsula and South Bay, and are offering a $100 signup bonus after 10 rides, plus another $100 after 50 (only if you use a...
