When I pull up, I say "how many will be riding?". If they say 5 or more. I offer options of canceling for an XL or getting another uber in addition to mine. The whole "we aren't going far" thing is followed up by "then you won't mind spending an extra $5 so that so I can legally take you. After all, $10 divided by 5 people is only $2 each."

If Uber is such a technology company why cant they add a step on the pax app that asks "How Many Passengers" and cut down on some of this bullshit?

They do sorta. Says max is 4. Riders too busy to notice or care.

So their stupidity becomes our problem.

It's our problem always (mislocated pins, over capacity, open containers, etc)

This

If your polite they usually are cool.

It just doesn't work for anyone if you're rude. They can argue and you can smile (even if you're driving away).
