Hi all,
Previously mentioned in a thread that I was finally given the all clear to start driving on Saturday.
Want to be well prepared for when I start first thing Tuesday morning - so going to read a lot more through this forum tomorrow, as well as buying some essentials for the car.
My question though is do you Go Online in your app when you're at home sitting around? Or just specifically when you're in your car driving.
I live about 15 minutes from the city centre where I live (about 40ish minutes from Sydney CBD) and having checked the Uber app at various times throughout the day and night I notice there's a few Uber drivers in the town centre but none out my way.
So would you suggest if I'm at home doing nothing I should Go Online in the hopes there's someone out my way looking for a ride - as I'll be closer than those in the city centre? Obviously don't plan on getting drastic amounts of passengers this way - but better than nothing if I'm just going to be sitting at home.
Or do you think it's bad practice to do that, get the ping, then take 30-60 seconds to actually get in the car before driving to pick up the passenger?
Thanks again for your help and feedback.
