Ubers honey moon is over,the gloss is gone, once upon a time toget an Uber was agreat but know days its wworse than a dogs breakfast

 

accept then ring to see if good fare

 

Any rider wanting an oober 10 plus minutes from the closest driver should be in a surge area...period

 

Uber are moving to rider upfront pricing so the 'price' presented to a rider who is along way away from a driver will be higher and the driver compensated for those long pings.

Not a chance, there is no evidence or discussion to support such idea. Although I've been saying it all along, Uber worked well when the pick up radius was around 7mins tops!

 

Well I can only tell you what a manager in Qld told me was going to happen.

 

You may not be the first driver who got the ping. The ping goes up to 8 closest drivers, I think.
If a driver passes the ping, the pick up time increases as the ping goes to a next farther driver.

From the rider's viewpoint, they may have ordered at 5 minutes pick up with some fare estimate.
If the pick up time and fare estimate increases after you order, what would you think?

I think it'd be less likely that drivers would refuse a trip based on pickup distance if they got paid more for longer pickups. From Uber's point of view, they already offer a price range as their estimate, they could simply add on a few extra dollars to the upper estimate to cover situations like this.

 

Exception for drivers that accept all pings though how often do 10+ min pings really come through?

 

I agree with the concept of a variable pickup fee too.

I was 'way to bugry' near Moggil yesterday and a young uni student was very surprised to find that an Uber accepted her request out there -says there is usually no one around. Saved her waiting for 2 hours for a lift from her parents.

Meanwhile, I didn't accept two pings from 13klm's plus in the same area.

I think the solution is simple, the customer has the option to accept a fare estimate increase to encourage a driver to take the job. If they don't want to pay, so don't accept the estimate. If they do accept, then they pay a higher fee even if they cancel. Skimples!

My friend has been doing it longer he said Uber will let you travel up to approximately 20 minutes per his experience and he drives an XL...
