Once this is in full force, the system will surge between 3:30 and 4:30 as they are all offline eating dinner.

Dear Uber,

My driver Gertrude was really nice. I enjoyed the fresh baked cookies she provided.

Now her driving 15 mph across town with the hazards on... not so much.

Oh, one more thing, the car smelled like a dirty diaper.

This is up there with calling old people and trying to scam them out if their savings.

18-year-old druggy Kyle is ditching school, e-hails an uberX to go on a quick drug run .. 80-year-old Granny gets the ping...

It'll take forever when they have to stop and pee every few miles. Their navigation will be rolling down the window and asking directions.

No early am surges--until it's time to walk the mall.

Looks like uber is running out of creative ideas and headed towards desparity in terms of finding drivers.
robotic cars cant come soon enough.
i see a google takeover uber once google starts rolling out driverless cars.

We need more lanes, traffic flow will slow down.

No, they are probably already in depends.

 

[Goober]

Already tons of old people doing it..they just don't work late..

But a bunch of seniors sitting at home happy with $200 a week, leaving the app on all day...that I could see..beats Walmart

LOL, the 40 something posters think they aren't old and making fun of 50+ folks.

I got news for you - you are already Old Farts.

In my book anyone over 30 is an old fart. That's when they start whining about not being young anymore.

I learned this from a 45 year old friend who was playing ultimate frisbee with 25 year olds laughing at them because they were whining about how tired they were , unlike in their youth. He was babyfaceed and ran circles around all of them. They all thought he was 28.

And on a similar note I had a passenger who is 25 years old telling me how he was off to play disc golf. What a wimp. That's not a real sport. Unless you play Ultimate Frisbee you ain't jack . Thank you, I feel better now.

I'm 51. I'll take old. It beats being dead, and it beats people thinking I'm a dumbass who can't function without a smartphone, cannot process more than 140 characters at a time, and needs to live off my parents until I'm 30

No more early morning surge. ..

I think this headline is a little misleading. According to the article, the target is "life reimagined" which had an average age of 52. That's well below senior citizen age, commonly reserved for pension/social security eligibility age.

 

[Tx rides]

The article is centered around AARP which does have a younger threshold for seniors but nonetheless is a subscription for seniors.

No the group is Life Reimagined, an offshoot. Their average age is 52. They attract people in my age group who are often RA'd with some early retirement.
