the pin thing wont fix/change this issue at all. they never get to that part of the transaction, they hope you cancel before pickup because they take forever.

I had one do that to me after a concert a couple of years ago. I was literally on the corner we agreed upon and he kept on saying “I can’t see you!”. It was a pretty open view intersection and he was driving a red car. Not a whole lot of red cars out there in general and not a one on all 4 corners of this particular intersection.
I kept on until he “found” us. You know I watched that fool drive up from 2 blocks up off a side street.
Come on.

I hope Uber cancels that driver’s access for good.
I admit Uber ain’t the nicest company, but don’t take it out on innocent customers.

Had an Uber driver who refused to turn down the street we were on. He then accepted the ride and said he dropped us off like three minutes later at wherever he happened to have pulled over. Uber sent a “you were dropped off far from your original dropoff location is everything okay?” message. The fuck it’s not okay.

As an information architect (well, I guess I’m retired now), this is something that NEVER ceases to amaze me: people design and build systems and get all surprised Pikachu face when other people game the system. It’s what humans do: is there a system? Someone’s gonna game it to their advantage. ALWAYS.

This is why we can’t have nice things. Same as people photoshopping their Door Dash meals to look undercooked and request refunds, or taking back tips, etc. Uber is a lifeline for many of us, but drivers like this ruin it.

That pin doesn’t do shit but verify you’re the one who requested the ride
BoilerMaker11 on
Ever since Uber/Lyft have let their drivers know how much they’ll get paid BEFORE the ride, this has been a problem. If they don’t outright ignore the ride because it “isn’t enough money” (I’ve seen drivers do this for their next potential ride several times while I’m riding with them), then they’ll accept but not come to you in the hopes that you’ll cancel and they’ll still get their $5 or whatever because you canceled after the ride had been confirmed for 5-7 minutes.

They want you to cancel the uber so they still get paid without doing the job. If you find them, tell them to cancel the uber..

Had someone cancel when they were almost to my house once. Also had someone swerve around and leave while at my house. I reported it as a no-show and gave one star. Got my money back for both.
I’d stare them dead in the face and wait till they cancel.

This happened to my sister while trying to get a ride to the store. She had to file a complaint to get her money back. This is why I’m trying to get a car

I have had some Uber drivers drive around in a loop, usually about 10 mins or so of them not getting any closer Uber does allow you to request another driver. That driver doesn’t get paid when that happens.

Abject_Breadfruit148 on
Just wait two minutes or so then when you try to cancel you can select “Driver driving away” or “Driver not coming” and you don’t pay anything. Plus if they get a couple of these in one night they get flagged and a talking to from customer service.

Divest from uber, start going back to old school cab services.

This wasn’t happening when the yellow cabs were still trying to compete with uber. You put those dots together yourself.

Everyone wants to beat on autonomous cars like Waymo but a Waymo car wont ghost you to still get paid. This is the same reason why the Taxi service died to Lyft and Uber. Shitty drivers and a shitty service thinking they don’t have to do better because they’re the only game in town.
