Anyone notice the cases on the local news affecting their number of rides and/or change in passenger behaviour? I am noticing a lot more people verifying who I am picking up before getting in my vehicle.

I've noticed an increase in the number of women that get in and say "I'm sooo glad that I got a female driver!"

A lot of women are freaked out over this. Unfortunately we'll never see an option to request a same sex driver because someone will ALWAYS complain and spoil it for everyone.

yeah I finally put my front plate on because they are checking my plate even when I yell out their name. get in the ****ing car already before I get a ticket because you chose 3rd Ave pickup point at 659pm

 

[K-pax]

not really any different behavior other than checking plates more. They should already be doing that. I always confirm names. Always have. Always will.

Yeah. Does not happen all the time but I really dislike the places some people pick for a pickup. Sometimes they could not have picked a more awful place than the others I am looking at.

Yes I always confirm name and read off destination when it shows in app to confirm destination.

I picked up a pickled asshat the other day, his name was 2770 or something like that. I should have known

That would be rad. "I'd like a male, non Asian, English speaking driver, clean record, no Prius". I can't see why anyone would complain over that

I will only be driven by k-paxis. If I see a Nebulon pulling up with their serated schnopp talons, I cancel right away.

I've picked up a few Owners in my day. I picked up a guy who's name was 'The greatest' Are you The Greatest? Well, yes I am. We chuckled it up.

What is a k-paxi?

What is a k-paxi?

Someone from k-pax.

 

[K-pax]

What is a k-paxi?

Those who hail from planet k-pax. The Nebulons, however, come from plant flirp. Their serated talons will chop your head clean off if you're not careful. If you see those serated talons gleam in the sun when your uber driver is pulling up, cancel.

Thread back open. I built a separate thread for the debate that took over this thread about whether or not Pax should be able to have a preference in picking the gender of the driver they ride with.
