EPIC UBERFAIL TODAY...
UberLies: Save the Date Email:
Pope Francis is visiting Washington DC for the first time!
This will bring thousands of visitors to the city, and we expect demand to be very high on Wed (09/23) & Thur (09/24).
Don’t miss out on a GREAT EARNING OPPORTUNITY - let us know if you plan to drive during the Pope’s visit by filling out this form:
SUCH BS.. Not even THE POPE can save Uber from itself....

UBER'S RESPONSE, SOMEWHAT OWNING UP TO EPIC FAIL:
Today during the Pope's visit, demand was much lower than anticipated.
We appreciate you letting us know in advance that you planned to drive, and we understand your time is valuable.
We apologize for any idle time you may have spent on the road.
Instead of driving tomorrow morning, we recommend driving tomorrow night or this weekend, when demand will likely be much greater.

kudos to Uber for apologizing. Its a credit to UBER. how many organizations do you know that publicly apologize for anything? VW maybe, LOL.... I see it as a good thing, the apology that is.

......another Uber Bust just like that Columbia, Maryland music festival disaster. Someone at Uber did not know that business slows to a trickle here during the High Holy Days, as it is. Add to this the well publicised warnings of trafffic snarls that everyone heeded. To be sure, the driving public often does not heed these warnings, but, every once in a while, it does. For the Pope's visit, the public heeded the warnings and stayed home.

thats no apology, they dont want to payout anymore guarantees is all. they wanted to discourage people from going out this morning.
