    As Rideshare drivers, most times we just want to hurry up and get Pax from point A to B. However occasionally the conversation that transpires in my car becomes so fascinating that at the end of the ride, both the Pax and myself didn't want to finish discussing the topic, with both of us having...

    Lately, I've been getting a lot of pax forcing a conversation. Like I would give one worded responses, and they would still try to tell me about how their cat died or how their teenage daughter is having twins.... Most of the time, I just dont feel like conversating. I definitely do not feel...

    I've had two riders who immediately upon getting into the car started asking questions and it continued for the whole ride. They were long rides to the airport so it was more of an issue than it would have been on a short ride. The conversation was not a back and forth. They didn't ask questions...

    On Thursday night I was working, I received a job on Surg Price 2.3, I made my way to the rider, arrived he jumped in, I confirmed the name. Before I started the trip, the rider goes, well you must be lucky I am giving you a good job, Surg Price 2.3, I told him thank you but let me start the...

    Fun couple from River North to South Loop. When riders call out a jackass driver on your behalf (privately), you know it's gonna be a good ride. Lady sang along to my Earth Wind & Fire music (lead singer has a high falsetto voice). I told the gent, "Wow, Ken, you're a good singer." That cracked...

    Ever wish you could unhear something? 90 second scene from This is Us, Season 3 Episode 2 (two weeks ago). Video recording from my cell phone was too big (Even when I cut it down to the last 13 seconds). This scene gave me the willies, because it features a very inutuitive character who usually...

    As we all do, I greet every passenger with some type of generic greeting and from that I usually get a sense of the type of person I'm dealing with. If I have more than one pax I try to stay out of the conversation, unless they go out of the way to involve me. Teenagers, I don't even bother. One...

    ive had many reported issues, as most do, navigation, safety, professionalism, Uber says This is to help you improve, yet how can I improve if I don’t know which trip it was?? I’ve done 8000trips in 2years, yet 9people have complained, so I must be doing something right, my rating is 4.94*...

    When I drove yellow I always kept myself entertained by listening on my headphones to YouTube,, podcasts and just learn things as I do my job and it helps ignoring pax annoying talks. With this kind of business my phone is hostage to the GPS. So do you guys do anything to keep you entertained...

    First of all, hi everyone to everyone who contributes regularly to this forum. I've been Ubering for over a year now and thought I'd finally take the plunge and make an account so I too could help out. To the meat of this thread. Do you like chatting with your passengers? After reading through...

    Does anyone else notice a personal affect from the people who you meet, get to know, and bid farewell- to never hear from them again? Personally, I find it easy to connect with my clients. I have many good insightful conversations and instant friendships that abruptly end, obviously, as soon as...
  15. Advice
    Well, first some grips - I hate when they eat or drink in my car. Now onto non-grips - Do you play music or listen to the radio while driving pax's around? I want to sometimes but default to peaceful silence and conversations with my pax. What do you do?

    Not every time, but if the rating system comes up in conversation, I tell them on the "driver app", we can see the star rating from each passenger so we can better know what might have gone wrong and work towards improving the experience. Since we get deactivated for 4.6* average, but passengers...
