Received a notification about Uber launching Uber Pro in Houston today. I would expect 'partners' of higher tiers would enjoy a higher per-mile rate. NO!
Instead the program offers nothing useful such as
1) cash rebate at Shell (which always has the highest record in town with regular ~$3 / gal)
2) priority support (since when has the support been useful other than greenhub)?
3) customers see your ranking (how many actually bother to take a look on driver's profile?)
4) roadside assistance (this is what your insurance is for right?)
5) destination preview (only the direction but not the exact street address)
Until when Uber will get sick of their scams that follow one after another?
Taking a look on the requirements to get 'promoted', not sure if they are feasible

Rating - 4.85 is the cutoff. It got to be a joke. Indeed, it is quite astonishing that my rating has increased gradually from 4.78 to 4.85 since Christmas for unknown reasons. The way of handling passengers has always been the same (Say hello > engage in conversation only if invited > only a safe point A to B ride and nothing else > say bye and have a nice day). Either Houstonians become nicer or it is a mercy by the grace of the Uber algorithm. Let's see how long the 4.85 can be maintained before ruined by an [email protected]@hole.
Acceptance - impressed that Uber has the nerve to bring that up. I do believe strongly that if everyone is paid $1/mile, 85% acceptance should not be a problem. Brilliant, perhaps this is why they invest in self-driven cars in which the computers cannot decline a 4.0 customer or filter out non-profitable rides.
Cancellation - As you may be aware of, the ping window always appear at a location where your fingers can reach readily. Uber cannot really blame us for this kind of 'accidental acceptance'. In addition, if the clients are educated with $1/ min waiting time, most of them will be ready at the curb that translates to less driver cancellations.
