I've got literally one block ride. She said she is late for work and waited like 4 mins for me to arrive.



Not to waste the thread check those google maps shots and explain how this is possible:

I’ve been seeing this a lot on Google maps when in Chicago. It says the trip has 1 or 2 minutes left but there is an alternate route that is 10 minutes faster.

Wow, a two minute ride today with the sun out and temps in the high 60's? Doesn't anyone walk these days?

I have you beat though. Bounced a drunk once after going 3 feet.

Gmaps has been messing up a lot lately. It will say something like eta is 9 mins, but if I take a different route I can make it there 20 mins faster...wormhole?

Nope, got you beat. I had a 0.18 of a mile trip just a week and a half ago. Your screenshot is a few feet longer at 0.21 of a mile.

my gut thinks that Google probably rolled out a new pathfinding algo over the years.

A couple of years ago, Google would usually give you routes through side streets to save a few minutes. Nowadays I rarely see that. Probably because some people around the country complained to the news about drivers speed through their neighborhood.

What makes you think Uber responds to people?

Why did the chicken cross the road ?

Oh brother, that would be the record, but I think it would have an asterisk next to the Guinness Book of World Records entry, since you terminated the ride yourself.

and its pool, im surprised u didn't get matched. XD so much for your name being nopoopool

Right, and not walk it, instead of riding. The ride was originallly supposed to go a couple miles, but the entitled pax asked me right off the bat if I could stop at Jewel. It was a Pool ride, and told her no can do on a Pool level of service. She then requested that I drive her across the road to Jewel. $2.25 minimum fare. Thank you very much, now get the bleep out of my car.

Ha-ha, I know. I have taken a few here and there to rack up a few rides toward a Quest, but I have recently more or less stopped chasing Quest, unless I get a worthwhile offer. Has to be at least 25 for $75 or 30 for $85. I also am starting to drive only Select for the most part, with an occasional X, if the pax pickup is 3-8 minutes or less away in driving mostly in the burbs.

Matched in the burbs is a seldom occurrence, and going 0.18 of a mile, a match ain't happening, that is for sure.

On a nice day like today? Are people really that lazy? No wonder we are obese.

It was not today. It was a few weeks ago on a sunny, but cold day. The original ride request was a destination a few miles away to 23736 Dayfirld Ct. Plainfield. When I informed her that the TOS for a Pool ride does not allow for stops, and that if other drivers are accommodating that request, then that driver is probably going to be sitting when a match request possibly comes through, and thus delaying the arrival for that pickup and making the matched pax possibly cancel. She then requested that I drive her across the road to Jewel.

 

[Pax Collector]

I bet that cancellation fee would've been more than the fare itself.

It absolutely is more than the fare, $3.75 vs $2.25, but the wise ass paxhole waited until exactly after I started the ride and verified the drop location. Then she requested the stop at Jewel.

 

[Pax Collector]

It didn't. It ordered an Uber instead.

Have one from last March. The pax was drunk and lost her sense of direction. Fortunately, it was surging 2x at the time.
