and its costing us all surges. they seem to accept any pin no matter how far or ridiculous it seems. smh

(i did cancel it right away as to not have the driver actually travel)

Did you give the driver a chance to cancel? or contact them?

 

[Altima ATL]

Your pin was in the middle of the bay - lmao

i canceled so they wouldnt waste gas on the trip , just a little experiment, and its probably why there is little to no surge these days. too many and they arent smart enough to ignore some pins. my guess betsy is a school teacher and will hopefully go away next month

lol, now as cool as it would have been to see the guy from reading rainbow pick me up ,i didnt have a boat handy.

On a related point. I live on the very outskirts of Atlanta (is a very underserved area) and my passenger app would normally report that no UberX available (Unless about 10 minutes away). Thee last few days I have seen UberX available with arrival times of up to 35 minutes.

Something has seriously changed here - no one should drive for 30+ minutes with the possibility of $5 min fare.

 

[Hondaguy7643]

Geez! 34 minutes? I thought the cut off was 20. The furthest request I ever had was 18 (didn't take it) and when I log onto the rider app the furthest away I've ever seen was 20, but once that driver got beyond that range it said "No UberX available".

I kinda feel bad for Betsy though. Like you said she might be a school teacher doing it, or maybe some early Christmas money for the grandkids presents??

Reading rainbow dude is cool!

Did you note what their ratings were?

 

[Emp9]

Did you note what their ratings were?

yes both were 4.7 . i just noticed , isnt a solara a 2 door car?

 

[Chicago-uber]

Camry solara is a 2 door vehicle. So now they accept coupes?

 

[Altima ATL]

After all the door slamming - mine will probably have just 2 doors soon.

 

[Emp9]

Levar- hey look kids I can drive with no hands, "but you don't have to take my word for it"

maybe auntie betsy lied that it had 4 doors, or its possible they mis-labeled it , they had my jetta as a hybrid till a few emails took it off(i didnt want hipsters mad that i mis represented my car)

Swim to me baby!!! Save me!! I'm drowning.

Btw.. Her rating was 4.3. Probably on a verge of deactivation. Afraid for her acceptance rate.

lmfao , introducing UberAQUA

 

[XUberMike]

I get on the average 5/7 requests a day in excess of 15 minutes. I just let them go and 1/2 re-ping 2/3 times thinking I. Ugh have just made a mistake. If Screwber & the PAX want me to run those crazy distances give me a guarantee of a $1.00 for every minute I drive to get their boney ass (NO CANCELLATION's,) with every minute of the drive guaranteed.

heck I'll run 20/30 minute pickups all day otherwise forget it I have had a 25 minute cancellation and that $5 sucks, wait $4.20 to me. UBER likes sharing the cancellation fee just not the 4.59 no fee drive expense. One minute is plenty of time to cancel for free, after that a buck a minute...

I'm a regular on the poor acceptance text...

Dang! That's a low blow to a sister driver (broadcasting her photo, tags and ratings!!!) Come on now, this forum is readable by the world, at least crop out the personal data!

[rtaatl]

Crystal is cute. I wonder if she'll drive all the way to Atlanta to pick me up...lolol! Why stop at driving through a lake.

 

[Altima ATL]

Will we get some new threads later today about how dumb riders do not know how to place the pin

Good thread and entertaining Emp9.
