When is anything gonna be done about Uber and Lyft stealing from us? WHEN!??
Nobody knows
Never! it's all "blah, blah" from
the good side. it's "so what" from Lyft & Uber
When someone starts holding them accountable for their crimes.
This is why if a rider wants to get out early, I let them out and then drive to the original destination before swiping that the ride is complete. Though to be fair I've never actually had my fares reduced like this.
exactly
I like that idea on the airport runs I’ll do the same from now on
Uber, and Lyft, are running a rideshare BROTHEL. And the driver is the employee working in the bedroom.
And the employee(driver) can't wait for the day to start so he/can start making $33 per hour with a huge smile on their face knowing customers left satisfied
Amen
Don’t you drop off the $3 ride
100 ft from drop off or you will have to pay him 😂
So I don't do as many airport trips anymore because Uber just offers them at trash rates, during the early morning times. But when I did do them I would encounter a very similar issue when I would do drop offs at IAH (Houston), If you put the airport it would put the address at terminal c, The big issue with IAH is the airport is split into two sections with most of the domestic flights at A/B and United and the international flights at C/D/E you have to do a 2 mile loop to go back around from one section to the other.
Also last year whenever I would let passengers know that I was gonna get shaved on this, I asked out of curiosity if their charges were reduced they all would tell me and offered to show me the receipts that their charges did get dropped a fair bit.
That’s why I stop doing airport trips as well because of the construction then when you drop them off where they’re supposed to be dropped off at Uber cuts the pay and says something about the destination was shorter then customer requested Uber is just full of bullshit and they definitely need to up the pay in Houston Texas dealing with this goddamn fucking traffic all these 3 4 5 fucking dollar rides during fucking traffic hours , Uber full of shit man I swear fuck Uber and Lyft
Upfront fares aka uber stealing
So we have to drop the passenger where they request, then drive to the pin to end the trip. Uber does the same thing at pick ups, putting the pin somewhere weird so the wait time clock never starts
Exactly... i did noticed same thing
I get additional fare for going long in the event of traffic or wrong pin location. I have noticed comfort reservation fares from downtown to airport have recently dropped by 10.
You guys are missing one thing. The terminals at St Louis are about a mile apart.
In my market, Uber is rate card. Lyft is upfront. I prefer driving for Uber. Lyft always underestimates the time. My actual ride always takes longer. I don't accept any Lyft rides now during rush hour traffic. Otherwise, I lose money on every Lyft ride
Really, tho nothing will change, Uber and lyft seem to be unbreakable. There are years of this, and it's only getting worse and worse!!
All trips should be rate card. If uber and lyft want to give the rider a quote and the driver an estimate, the driver should be paid for what they actually do. This way the rideshare apps can take the haircuts.
My upfront fare chanced from one bus terminal to a door away (less than 50feet and my pay went from $13 to $2.50. 13 miles of driving and 30 min.
Did your passenger change the trip just before the trip ended? Meaning, the trip was just from destination to 50 ft away?
Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks back April 13, 2024. For a 200 FEET coner changed, UBER cut an upfront fare of 17.89 to $14.23. I immediately reached out and for over 1hr, ALL the said was, "YOUR FARE IS CORRECT AND CORRESPONDED TO THE DRIVE TIME".....
Yesterday Monday 28th, i picked a ride worth $27 for a 5mins pickup, drove 10miles to dropoff (GREENBELT METRO), n got paid $14 after dropoff. I called and same EXCUSES was given..... what could we do this?
I don't end my Trip till I am all the way out from last terminal
I like Chris idea, only issue in my case is that the Houston terminals are U shape and they put you facing the exits so you would have to drive all the way around the airport to get to a pin in the next terminal over. I do screenshot my rides mostly reservations and if there’s a discrepancy I chat with support which can be a fight
If the customer make a mistake terminals, they cut your upfront fair. What transparency?
Theres an organization call IDG doing something about it. They are trying to make Rideshare companies to get 10% cut instead of that insane amount (40-60%) they are doing now.
don't end the ride till you get to the correct terminal
Dara is a Criminal !!!
Over the last two weeks I have noticed upfront fares trending lower. A passenger I have picked up over the last six months from the same location then dropping off at the same location has dropped from a little over eight dollars down to $6.75. This is on the Uber comfort electric platform.
You are 100% accurate upfront fares need an overhaul! The overhaul should be going back to utilizing the rate card. Also, I believe they should be as independent contractors giving us the ability to set our rates utilizing the multiplier. At the very least these two overhauls would put us in a closer relationship with independent contractor status as these companies claim we are.
also look at the fact the comfort trip with the tip was almost the least pay
When the rider updates the drop off or adds a stop I immediately cancel the ride
Let’s give bonus 3-4 am😢 really imm not getting up that early like now to be driving that early since I’m an hr away from my home town unless I stay the night. Why not give bonus during peak hrs Lyft like on way to work or after work?
That Definitely Happens
This doesnt happen to me that Ive noticed.
My airport has two termials and they're like 2 miles apart from each other. So I always double-check what they're flying on to elimate having to do a really unnecessary loop around the entire airport. For the times they did pick the wrong terminal, 9x out of 10x its really the one nearest to the most common access road they needed. That makes my trip like 2 miles short. So Im definitely glad im not getting a haircut on the price. Is it because 98% of my airport runs are reservations maybe?
I could see this being really problematic for people too if their Uber app's airport directions are as funky as mine are at times. My airport gives people too many options. I need to know the airline not their gate. It also sometimes thinks my departure should be dropped off in the rideshare arrival area. My airport has no rideshare area for dropping off. I feel bad for new drivers at my airport because they tell you to use ramps that definitely dont goto the right place as well.
My bigger issue is them sending me to reservations way too early. No one wants their reserved ride to show up 25 minutes early. Especially, to the airport. Gotta me sitting upto 35 minutes. Do that to me upto 3-4x potentially a day (i get a ton of airport reso's) and thats a lot of off road time.
I also noticed they cheat us on the time. I have Uber app on phone and gps on car play. The Uber app always has 1-3 minutes off gps. If they short every ride by 1 minute world wide they make how much? Nickel and dime for sure! We don’t get more for sitting in traffic. Ugh 😑
They have no Shame, also Try to get them to pay more because the trip took 20 more minutes because of traffic or a accident they will not pay...
I'm pretty sure this is illegal due to the fact its upfront fees....shouldn't the price stay the same even if they ask to be dropped off only 1 mile?
Dara is a small petty evil man. Uber clearly monitors driver discourse heavily across social media platforms. With surgical precision they've cut the per mile rate to undermine the driver adage of "$2 per mile to make a profit" to under $0.75 per mile. That's very intentional, they understand the driver's operating costs and they'd lowered the driver portion of the fare to keep most driver's making just slightly more than breakeven. It's the same predatory practices that taxis operated with the medallion system. Nasty work. All while violating federal employment and wage laws.
I switched to delivery service only, the store and the destination never change.
Nowhere close to the same money, uber is so so so so much better than eats/dash
I added driving a few months ago bc eats pay was crap but customer service took all my accumulated stars away when they added option I was mad. Why not just add that option or made it an option when I signed up?
Even wothout tips youll never see these prices in my market!!!
Chris' outrage is so cute. Like it's a new thing
I’m thinking this is gonna wind up in a class action lawsuit.
Upfront fees are set up to for Uber to take more money
I just want up front fare!!!!
I want to buy a camera, any suggestions ????
Display Ride, the CEO will be on SMTMC next week, we may have a giveaway
Who is getting rides for $34? Who’s getting rides for $44? This guy should be jumping with joy out here in Western New York and airport ride to Niagara Falls is 45 minutes and you might make $18. You might see it. It’s so small but does that say 19 minutes out here in New York? You would get eight people drivers that are getting you guys come on here and say we’re not making enough, you’re making whatever makes
Upfront fares should have Uber and Lyft sued. I wasted so much time because of upfront fares.
Then the app still charged the same on all 3 different passengers.
The cherry on top 😅
We want rate cards back plain and simple!
🧐 sometines these episodes are petty, but this time, these seem quite legit and aware noting 🤔
Dara belongs in jail for the crap he pulls.
Go get educated 🤡
Uber: You guys need to shut up, put on a mask and get vaccinated
Drivers: yes sir, i'll get the KY also
Everybody has the solution, every driver knows what to do,BUT chooses not to,instead makes Uber rich accepting $3 rides, 80 cent per mile rides
Hey there buddy. You would have two rides a day in Richmond Virginia if you wanted more than 80 cents a mile. I'm not even kidding you, so from the sounds of things be glad you live where you do because it sounds like you get paid better than me and anyone else in my city.
I make good money still doing full time as a diamond driver 👍
Still getting average 65 cents a mile trips in Richmond Virginia. $20 rides for 35 mi les are not uncommon either. Anyone in a city with better rates than this needs to quiet down because you're not getting fucked the hardest.
Scam
The fare skimming during bonus, surge and turbo hours is out of control.
