I should have known better and not have wasted my time on an out of state trip. Basically there is not compensation for doing this and drivers pretty much get paid less than the actual mileage of the trip. Never again! I would have scored better by just driving in the city.

Driving on New Years Eve this past Monday - 2 of my trips were to NYC from CT. for both requests I did not see the "Long Trip +45 mins" pop up in the request flash on the UBER app. Did anyone else experience this recently? Would be a shame if this feature was taken away hence (Like a lot of...

What do you do if you’re driving a passenger and they need a bathroom stop? Countless times I have heard of drivers not wanting to stop, where do you stand on this?
