I'm a female driver and honestly....I feel safer if they sit in the front than in the back. But then again....if they sit in front.....they better be sociable!

I hate when people sit in front....and then don't talk....or make it feel like I'm pulling teeth to engage them in conversation....

then to me, that's just awkward! If you don't wanna talk....sit in the back.

 

if they sit in front.....they better be sociable!

What if they just stare and rub their hands together while quietly laughing to themselves...asking for a friend

 

What's your point? You already know why. If this was an issue for you cancel and get another driver. Her car, her rules.

 

If I knew why I wouldn't be asking the question.

 

She may have had a negative experience with a front seat passenger in the past, and it makes her nervous. Don't take it personally.

 

It sounded like the driver was more concerned about her safety with a male getting in the car, than anything else.

Here is your answer.

 

You seem impatient.

 

What i dont understand is why you are questioning this. Some people like chocolate some do not, some drivers dont like riders up front, some do.

Search the forum, there are multible threads about this, its about 40/40/20 .. front/back/dont care.

Why does this matter to you?

I already explained why i questioned it. It seems like there was a bigger reason behind me not being able to sit in the front then "her car her rules".

 

Anyways, this thread has no point anymore, especially if people are going to gang up on me for a topic they disprove of. Hopefully a mod can lock it. Anyways, have a good day.

 

So what...you're a guest in that driver's vehicle. You're not a friend. Maybe you are creepy looking....who knows.

Either way, pax are annoying for the most part and the only reason you're in the vehicle is cause the driver is getting paid. Be happy you're getting a very cheap ride.

I don't like pax in the front seat either but I don't deny them. Especially if it's a hot female.

 

My Uber driver made me sit in the back!

 

I usually prefer the riders (especially drunk and belligerent ones) sit in the back. If one sits up front, I won't fight it, but like I said I prefer they sit in the back.

One way to discourage riders from sitting up front is put all your stuff up front (of whatever). Of course that discourage all of them but most of them are.

 

What a ridiculous thing to complain about. Sit in the back and keep your mouth shut until you get to your destination. End of story. Thank you.

 

OP can be a good friend of the "sutpid" guy who complains about "surgey" and would prefer to ride the bus, fo' sho.

#massivetrollalert

No, your question is just that ridiculous, there's no figh

She did not want you to sit in the front, that is her preference.

The end.

Well then you left something out of your story.

I do not let anyone sit behind me if they are a single rider.

Makes me uncomfortable.

She probably has the same rule about front seats. You said "It sounded like the driver was more concerned about her safety with a male getting in the car, than anything else."

Im willing to bet this is the answer, what else are you looking for?

Did your feelings get hurt or something?

 

Ha ikr, think I have that guy on ignore, there's always a few trolls that pop up here but that mods are sharp to block those accounts or at least I'll just keep them on ignore. I'm heavy with the ban hammer via report button, this isn't 4chan brah

Everybody yapping about its the uber person's personal car. Yes this is true, but you should only try to pull rank when a pax is doing something egregious (trying to hit you,smoking, cramming 5 people,being highly rude/disrespectful, etc), NOT when pax is simply doing something that is normally allowed, and not irregular. You are NOT the boss of the pax, so don't try to play god. It is NOT a weird thing to sit in the front seat of an Uber.It is NOT unreasonable for a pax to sit in the front. If you are a woman and are going to pretty much discriminate im sure, on making men sit in the back , you need to pick another job and quit Uber asap. No pax wants to be treated differently, just because they were born a certain way(x or y chromozone) out of their control (as per male OP trying to ride with a female driver)

a single pax sitting in the front is no different than picking up 4 people where 1 person HAS to sit in the front. If someone is in the front they are in the front, not sure how it makes a different if only 1 in in the front and none in the back, or 1 in the front and 3 in the back. As if a woman is more comfortable with 4 dudes in the car, instead of 1? Can really make much sense out of that

Furthermore, if she is making single males sit in the back, im sure they are also forcing them to sit in the back on the passenger side,smh. If you are this noid you shouldn't be driving for Uber. You drive strangers all they time, any one of them, male or female, sitting anywhere, can pull a fast one on you if they wanted to.... No particular position they sit in is going to actually make you safe. That's just a plain ole big false sense of security...

PREACH Bart! lol yeah all these flakes above me shouldn't be driving for Uber if ALL seats aren't available for pax. Get your junk off the front seat, don't tell anyone to sit in the back, they're paying for a seat and they can sit wherever they like. I'm with you, someone does that to me it's a 1-star and reporting to Uber. Talk about profiling!

 

i think pax believe uber's lies that we are everybody's private driver. if you want service, you better start tipping. but uber say's no tipping so get your ass in the back like she said.

 

The other day, I took an Uber ride from a female driver. The moment I tried getting in the front, the driver quickly and nervously said, "Get in the back".

sure hope you gave her a 1 star

What's your point? You already know why. If this was an issue for you cancel and get another driver. Her car, her rules.

she still needs to operate by ubers rules, which is pax can sit anywhere

I think the point was that you really DO know why… It's HER car; if she wants you to ride in the back, then you ride in the back. If you specifically want a particular seating arrangement, you are free to call another driver at the same fare.

she shouldn't be driving for Uber

She may have had a negative experience with a front seat passenger in the past, and it makes her nervous. Don't take it personally.

who cares, not the pax fault. you never take something that happend with somebody else out on an innocent pax. I would 1 star and email uber to remove her from the service

What i dont understand is why you are questioning this. Some people like chocolate some do not, some drivers dont like riders up front, some do.

?

maybe because he's a paying pax and especially if UberX, he gets to sit where he pleases, yall bringing rosa parks back?

You're fighting to sit in the front. What a ridiculous thing to fight for.

as if what YOU think matters. as if what YOU think is the gospel. as if what YOU think is the way everything is supposed to be

If you don't want dumb responses, don't start dumb threads.

I think everyone of your responses is dumb.
Do you get the point I just made? smh

i think pax believe uber's lies that we are everybody's private driver. if you want service, you better start tipping. but uber say's no tipping so get your ass in the back like she said.

in the real world, people tip AFTER the service is provided. now why in the world should the pax tip when he was just made to sit in the back before the services begins? smh,silly statement about tipping.

Plus uber doesn't say no tipping is allowed
And a pax can clearly pull out their wallet and tip the driver, smh

 

They ALL want to sit in the front . . .

 

From a female driving perspective.

If ur a drunk male - sit in the back
If ur sketchy or look soiled - sit in the back
If u seem like the kind to text the entire trip - sit in the back

I banish all my passengers to the backseat. The front passenger seat is reserved for my esky. I already give uber passengers my car as a service. The least I could keep for myself, my family and friends is a clean seat. I have my front passenger seat steam cleaned if I get a lot of uber fares finding their way up front.

I have OCD and I don't like other STRANGE people's sweaty asses in my "safe" places

 

What do you mean so what? Are you really that dense?

^^^^^^^^^^^^No, he/she/it is\/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/

you feel entitled.

passengers with an attitude of entitlement

What a ridiculous thing to complain about.

See quote from bluedogz. Do not expect much from an entitled passenger.

This is not about being noided dummy , why should we have a smelly ass rider sit up front with us , how much money do u think uber drivers really make not much dummy , sit ur ass in the back and have some respect dummy

 

Bart McCoy Wins this thread. Closed.

 

I put that guy on ignore over a year ago. I don't even need to un-ignore him to know he is probably preaching that a paying customer should be able to stick it into any hole the ***** has, and if the ***** doesn't like it the customer should complain to her pimp.

 

Why did you try to sit in the front? We don't like that.

 

What kind of question is that? He wanted to sit in the front because he wanted to. There's absolutely no written rule about pax having to sit in the back. Uber doesn't state this to any pax so how in the world is he supposed to know you don't like that?

 

I think the point was that you really DO know why… It's HER car; if she wants you to ride in the back, then you ride in the back. If you specifically want a particular seating arrangement, you are free to call another driver at the same fare.

Her car, her rules
You're right
However Lyft requires all seats to be available
So she understands she is gonna have someone in the front eventually
And it was a sick move of her to demand it
She should have asked him to sit in the back first

 

It's not uncommon for drivers to ask a single passenger who chose to sit in the back seat behind the driver's seat to move to the seat behind the passenger seat. The only riders who are offended by this are riders who think they are entitled or think they are in charge. You as a rider are not entitled, and more importantly you are not in charge. The driver is in charge. They have full responsibility for what happens on the ride. Unless every seat has to be full, sit where you are instructed to sit by the one in charge, or the one in charge will cancel the ride.

 

I can see why you have him on ignore, my head is starting to hurt. :/

 

If there is only 1 person sit in the back. You are not my friend so don't sit in front like you are. Plus I like my front seat empty to put stuff on, it's kind of like my desk

 

I prefer passengers to sit in front but I only require the front seat when picking up or dropping off at the airport

 

I only require the front seat when picking up or dropping off at the airport

Say what?

 

As an uber driver, I find that single pax's will generally sit up front. I have no preference. I am however a male, who can take good care of himself. I can easily understand why a female may prefer that everyone sits in back. As explained, it's a safety issue for her. Point is, her car, her rules, you don't like it, don't ride. It's that simple. Nobody forced you into the car, and what's worst, you probably low rated her, for that stupid trivial aspect of the ride. It's customers like you who make it hard for us to maintain good ratings, and yes, they matter

 

Wow, alot of people on here getting quite offended for something as simple as being asked to sit in the back. Guess what folks, uber is designed to provide fast, efficient, cheap transportation, and none of that requires you sit up front. Get over yourself. You want to sit up front, BUY A CAR. Then you can sit anywhere you want.

 

Hmm... This thread is running out of steam.

I vehemently disagree with everything that has been said by every single poster on this subject; especially that Bart McCoy guy.
