DRIVERS BEWARE: The new feature that was released today says that drivers will now be compensated for long pick ups. Good right?
Well. First trip of the day. 25 miles to pick her up. I’m thinking I’m getting paid for some of those miles with this new feature. That’s why I accepted it. However, uber lied. I received $5 for taking her 6 miles up the road. 31 miles trip for $5. No reimbursement for long pickups on fare details. I was furious!
Called support (which is a satellite company and claims that they don’t have the corporate number). After being on the phone with support for an hour, they tell me that this feature won’t be available in our area for another few months. However, it says available in October. It’s apperently only available in a few cities.
Such a bogus company. I can’t wait until I can start working a real job again.
Just wanted to let my fellow drivers know that you will NOT be compensated for long pickups like uber advertises. Who wants to file a lawsuit? ‍♂

Uhhh, you did see the part where this change is not in effect likely until December, right ?

So then why roll out the feature as if it's available today? This is exactly the underhanded shit uber does and shills like you always find some reason to defend.

Because then they can dupe a few suckers into driving 31 miles for a $5 fare, thinking they'll be compensated.

 

[DopeyDaDriver]

Read the stuff man... I won't accept squat until I read that its in effect...

 

[PTCGUY]

Lol. It was right there in black and white. Dont blame Uber for your mistake.

 

[Raven087]

Funniest thing I read all day. I bet support put him on speaker and mute and were LOL'ing

 

[jaywaynedubya]

Lol, idiot I bet it won't be worth it in December either.

 

[MHR]

You forgot to post this one. Says right there December 17.

Because most of us can read and comprehend what we are reading.

Absolutely, I have been calling for incentives to pickup passengers that are several miles away. When I saw the announcement this morning I was like; "Good, this feature will be a good thing, especially on the South side Suburbs."

I'm a little disappointed that its not immediately available but I can wait a few weeks. The increase in Wait time charges is also something that needed to happen as well. It will motivate passengers to move their butts and get in the car, I don't start the trip until all seat belts are clicked.

Ah, so it's 210 days of change not 180 then.

 

[Dinoberra]

Lol this complaint made me feel old. Calling in for assistance, and a promise for compensation for going out of your way... 180 days of change is a real thing after all.

 

[Don'tchasethesurge]

Lol I wonder how long will uber take to take it back... just like all the other 180 crap!

Within 180 days

 

[Dinoberra]

At least they give us something. They don't have to GIVE you anything in capitalism.

 

[jaywaynedubya]

I'm sure it's still not worth it to go out of your way to pickup passengers.

If they do pay by the mile as stated and its a decent amount it'll help to take the long way.

 

[negeorgia]

Is it really Uber's fault when a disclosure is overlooked?

 

[Uberzoom]

Guyz, now I understand why Uber calls it 180 days of change. It will last 180 days, may be less and then you won't even notice when it's gone. We should call it Uber ephemerid.

 

[nomad_driver]

180 days. The average time it takes for the consumer to forget.
