@AeonCoin@CamsRep@observantjulie@faizsays @PatrickAKarlson ...the rider is in the car and the trip starts so waiting the best rides, highest value rides is difficult to say the least. Uber has put thought into developing a system that discourages cherry picking.
@AeonCoin@CamsRep@observantjulie@faizsays @PatrickAKarlson ...also the driver make their money once the passenger is in the car. The is a slight premium for picking up a passenger that is more than 12 minutes away but it is not enough to make a difference. Driver do not find out where their rider is going until...
@AeonCoin@CamsRep@observantjulie@faizsays @PatrickAKarlson Right now uber does not offer any information about demand at specific times so a driver would have to use their experience to clock in a t a busier time or they would have to just guess, if they were new....
@AeonCoin@CamsRep@observantjulie@faizsays @PatrickAKarlson The bigger problem with that is, that uber watches for patterns and tracks cancelation rates of drivers as a percentage of all rides accepted. If that percentage gets too high the driver runs the risk of being deactivated and no longer being able to....
@AeonCoin@CamsRep@observantjulie@faizsays @PatrickAKarlson Yes. Right now a driver could arrive to pick up a passenger and turn off the app(cancel the ride) and negotiate with the rider bit that system has flaws too. One flaw is that the system is set up for the rider to pay with a card the is already set up. So, in order for that....
@AeonCoin@CamsRep@observantjulie@faizsays @PatrickAKarlson In heavy traffic and/or snowstorms, I often have to call the rider to tell them the that uber's estimated time of my arrival is not accurate and I give them a better idea of when I will be there to pick them up.
@AeonCoin@CamsRep@observantjulie@faizsays @PatrickAKarlson I really dont know. I am a driver. When the app estimates my arrival time, I open google maps and compare bc google maps tends to be more accurate. I have found that in good weather and no traffic google maps and uber are really close with the estimates but....
@AeonCoin@CamsRep@observantjulie@faizsays @PatrickAKarlson That does kinda make sense. Tell me if I am understanding you. I am a driver in a truck, not super fuel efficient, so on a clear day with no traffic maybe I choose tier 3 of 5. Some driving a camary may choose tier 1(lowest price) bc it wont cost them as much to do the trip?
