Ride sharing needs to stop now. Uber changes the app almost every day. The system which is run by AI and 5 star ratings, is rigged to enable the entitled customer. Without the paying customer their business goes under. However there is no recourse for the drivers or passengers. The cab industry is regulated for a reason. There is no customer service for the passengers or "partners". There is a reason cabs have a cage in the back seat. People will look up a cab #, wait 30 minutes, sit in a cage, pay $50 for a 10 mile ride, and then tip. Now, people push a button on their phone, a new car arrives, they get in and they think they are god, they pay 1/3 of the price, and think they are entitled to anything, and do not tip. Why is that? People are sketchy. Uber has catered to the cheap entitled customers comfort and groomed a culture of arrogant abusive lowest common denominator - without the customers they go under, they rig the system for the passenger. Drivers have to rate passengers before they can accept another ride and they can not change the rating. Passengers can rate whenever the want or if at all. This is so passengers get a higher rating. Drivers do not know immediately if the passenger left trash in the car, put gum on the arm rest, urinated in a water bottle and left in the cup holder, etc. Most are verbally, emotionally abusive. Calculated abuse. Passengers say things they would never say to your face. And 80-90% of riders do not tip. The passengers are so abusive Uber knows they have to force the drivers to rate immediately without considering the passengers behavior so passengers have a high rating. 80-90% of passengers do not tip... that is the amount of passengers who should be kicked out and never given a ride again the second they open their mouth. Some are so bad they have no right to live or should be arrested or sued in civil court. As anyone can see by the many reviews the drivers take more abuse as passengers have no customer service recourse. They are not legally considered employees and the customers stigmatize. There is a reason the cab industry is heavily regulated and they charge as much as they do. Cabs should come back, but they need to lower the prices -some- (about 30%) so it makes sense for people to use them more. If you want a limo, hire a limo. Purchase a car or use public transportation. If you want a cab, call a cab. Uber is essentially a scheme. Uber's marketing has made the customers entitled to anything and pay the drivers almost nothing. After insurance, car purchase, maintenance, gas, wash/details, drivers are losing money. Uber continues to take more money off both ends. In 2015 Uber's percentage was a flat 20% of the fare plus a bullshit fee they claimed was to run background checks. By 2017 Uber was taking 33%. Now Uber has started the upfront pricing scheme (again catering to the customers comfort) but they are taking 40-50%. They slowly pull the rug out on drivers pay (drivers are now paid by the mile (~64 cents - actually it's based on 10000th of a cent, and less than 10 cents/min). They quote whatever they think the customer will pay. They are taking more and more money on both ends. Catering to the customers comfort with marketing, though there is no customer service, so the drivers are abused by both Uber and the passengers who Uber grooms to be abusive and entitled. Neither the drivers nor the passengers have any real recourse with Uber. They have used AI scripted bot responses since the beginning. Uber does not give the drivers the destination address, or photo ID of the passenger prior to pick up. They haven't since the beginning. This crap needs to end now. No one should be a part of this. No one should be using Uber or Lyft, stop complaining there is no recourse on either end except society should not accept this industry. Lawmakers and major local news media need to pay attention. read more
