I only do uber part time but took 2 weeks off work to give OLA a good try and make some money for renos at home,
Yes i have done 3000 trips but still uber should give some thought to the driver, SURELY.
On the bright side you have another $5.5 in your account lol.

Maybe in another 2k trips you'll learn...

I was to trusting that Uber wouldn't send me to buttsville for $5.04
About the only time, I say Neil's fav quote FAIL.

Dont run more then 10 mins pick unless it's Long trip notification and surge 1.7 or greater.

I get 15-25 mins pings in paky area all the time

What is it with Uber, sending me 21 minutes for a minimum fare.
They already know that the two 18 year old girls are traveling to the local fish shop 1.5 ks down the road.
what a waste of fuel and time.
Thanks for reaching out. Sorry to hear of your issue.

At Uber we do everything we can to minimize the travel time to pick up the passenger by matching the closet partner to the location. In this case we thought lets have some fun and send this out to a partner most likely to think it was a large ride and would accept it. Congratulations you won.

Based on this we would like to offer you and exclusive two week trail of UberPool, our next generation of reducing our partners hourly rates.

For next two weeks we will not send you any more UberX requests unless they are 15 minutes away and are a minimum fare.

Thank you again for reaching out.

The base fare is $2 and it is sort of a compensation for pickup trip. Can you do the maths how much KMS $2 covers? It is much less than KMS(2km + 5min).
21 minutes pickup? It is not worth it unless it was a trip from Carrum Downs to Melbourne City or AP.

Uber do not care about your profitability. They are just interested in 27.5% commission from your fare.

Uber did not "SEND" you, UBER requested that you consider driving 21 minutes - 1st mistake, you took it

I was to trusting that Uber
2nd Mistake

but still uber should give some thought to the driver, SURELY.
3rd Mistake

UBER depends that a certain amount of it's drivers will make a few mistakes in the earlier part of their sojourn with UBER.

I'm flabbergasted that a driver with 3,000 trips would even consider accepting this.

There is one born every minute, UBER seeks them out then UBER preys on their misfortune to fill their coffers.

PS did you make these 3,000 trips as a rider, or a driver ? I'm still baffled ?

You're the best Ant Sara could ask for. I bet you don't just do Poo rides, you eat them!

25 minute trip to Balnarring.

It was a nice day with already $400 so lets go for a fun run.

Straight down Stumpy Gully dirt road.

(I bet theyre going to the Balnarring shops)

Arribed. Hi ladies, where are you going?

Ahhh its soo hot - Balnarring shops....


Some things you do just to solidify things in your mind.


Next trip... Balnarring to Frankston... so not a total fiasco.

Never accept trips more than 7 or so minutes away.

Honestly if you did accept this 21 minute trip, then you certainly live up to your avatar name.:confused:

I am gullible because we are supposed to be uber partners and look after each other, but i have learned my lesson. 1hr and 10 minutes with OLA $89.00 Parhran to Sunshine return and 50 min Parhran to brighton stuck in traffic $16.50 with uber.
