Sometimes i drive to hyde park area to assist white flight, means driving folks to downtown and north sides. From my 2 months of experience of driving uber abd lyft, I feel most of riders from Hyde park/UChicago are arrogant, rude and hypocritical.
Do you guys feel the same?

I've had lots of requests in Hyde Park on weekends. Can't comment on your experiences but I can't say that I've had a lot of bad experiences there. It's mainly students wanting to get out of the entertainment desert of Hyde Park----students tell me that there's nothing to do down there. Generally good fares on weekends as most of the rides are to north side locations. Quite frankly, I'd rather pick up there than in the Lincoln Park, West Loop and other north side areas where so many of the riders are entitled, participation trophy types who think they've arrived and you need to cater to their every need.

No more issues with Hyde Park riders than other areas for me.

Honestly, I get about 30% Chinese student riders up there who are quiet. Maybe 30% black professionals who are very nice. The other 40% are typically white students or professors who on longer trips can provide deep academic conversation that I sure as hell can't get at home.

Nothing but problem pax in Hyde Park. It's almost always POOL going from Market to Dorm room or similar.. Always get smart asses insinuating I'm taking the long route by getting on LSD at 55th rather than 43rd . Shut up and sit back.

Make sure to remind them if they think you went 2 blocks out of the way it cost you .20 ****ing cents.. AGAIN.. Sit back and shut up.

I had 2 very bad experiences in the area

1) I picked up a young white girl from hospital at 57 th st. I offered her free water and she refused without saying thx. After few minutes i noticed her throwing chewing gum papers on my car seats. I immediately pulled over and looked at her without saying a word. She reluctanly picked up all the litter. I dropped her off at west loop and thanked her. She told me don't be a ****ing dick and slammed my door before she left. Later i got bad rating from her. I regretted for not kicking her out earlier.

2) Picked up a middle-aged white woman near UChixago and her destination was midway airport. She didn't thank me for helping with her luggage. Then she wanted me to pick up another friend. During the trip, they asked me how to split fare. I didnt know so I apologized. They seemed extremely shocked and furious began mocking me for being unprofessional. They thought i was supposed to know and shouldn't drive uber without knowing. **** these old hags. I nearly lost my temper but i remained silent.

Most white riders from hyde park are annoying and self entitled. Black and asian riders are polite and quiet.

I like Hyde Pk. Good trips from dt to there. Few trips around there and usually get back to city. Usually intelligent smart students.

That is the only reason i drove to that area. Half of the trips will bring me to busy areas.

I didn't know it was even possible to enter LSD at 55th and 43rd ...

Besides that, why are they insisting that you enter at 47th rather than 57th (which is what I suppose you mean)? I guess they would rather sit through traffic and extra stoplights on Lake Park to save 50 cents.

Maybe they should take the #6 bus if they insist on you taking the slower route rather than you doing them a favor by taking the FASTER route!

Close enough 333.. I do it with my eyes closed..

How do you get on LSD at either 55th St. or 43rd? It sounds to me like somebody's already on LSD!
