Washington DC Rideshare Driver
Helping people get from point A to B safely

@AdamTuss @STATter911 @Transurban @VaDOT Should have been the way it was done originally decades ago. At this point, not much land available but you can always go up.

[DMV Driver @DMV_Driver]

@FRMillionaires You averaged 4-5 rides per hour for 12 hours at $6.80ish a trip. How many miles per trip? How many miles total did you drive? How much time do you spend waiting between trips?

@LeviSpires I saw a $4 surge for a Luke Brian concert this week in DC

@capitalweather This one is some very impressive eclipse planning

This skateboard trick may never be eclipsed.

Danny León, a Spanish Olympic skateboarder, set up this shot and landed it during today's eclipse in Spain.

Perfect planning!

@RideshareRambo I've only seen the Waymo's mapping the GW Parkway.

[DMV Driver @DMV_Driver]

@STATter911 There is so much underage drinking at these establishments. I hear my passengers scheming how to get in with a fake ID frequently. I stopped doing pickups here because there are too many intoxicated riders.

[DMV Driver @DMV_Driver]

@LifeOfBuddah Maybe the rider canceled and reordered the trip.

I never see a exclusive for the same trip twice in such a short period. I have seen a trip repeat after leaving and returning to a area after 15 minutes or the rider "upgrades" to priority or comfort.

[DMV Driver @DMV_Driver]

@MinivanManTodd Message is too general. They need to identify which trip. I frequently do not take Uber's route because it takes the long way with lots of traffic lights and stop signs. Trip time is sometimes shorter by 5 to 15 minutes in rush hour traffic.

[DMV Driver @DMV_Driver]

@MinivanManTodd @TripMoorhead @earlwithana Morning time is good to drivers in the west.

[DMV Driver @DMV_Driver]

@boston_drives I hope Uber reads the fine print

[DMV Driver @DMV_Driver]

@photoguy_nc @washingtonian There are dedicated areas on the mall for these vendors. But there are more food trucks than spaces. And they park in travel lanes until the park police move them, slowing the flow of traffic.

[DMV Driver @DMV_Driver]

@MinivanManTodd @TheRideshareGuy It is really stupid that TNCs are allowed to create new rules frequently. These services should be regulated. And they should be considered a transportation company and not just a technology company.

And why are customer promotions a drivers cost. A 1099 should be my earning

[DMV Driver @DMV_Driver]

@MinivanManTodd @TheRideshareGuy These fees are Uber's cost of business. There model does not allow me to get these items individually. They do this trickle down economic model to show more profit. It allows them to look like they are keeping less of the passenger payment.

[DMV Driver @DMV_Driver]

@STATter911 Yeah, I just found that out after unsuccessfully trying to escape DC by I66 and Georgetown. Went back to 395. Now stuck on 295 by DC Water with people driving on the shoulder.

[DMV Driver @DMV_Driver]

@WridzATX @boston_drives But unfortunately drivers are taking these trips. It shows too many drivers are not believing their time is worth much. A few of these trips would pay much less in Washington, DC and especially in the surrounding suburbs.

[DMV Driver @DMV_Driver]

@boston_drives Man, I hope Uber does similar bonuses like this soon AF in the DC area. Based on recent fares, the heard must be thinning, but the fares are still trash.

[DMV Driver @DMV_Driver]

@STATter911 @ArlingtonVaPD Thank you for bring this to their attention

[DMV Driver @DMV_Driver]

@heyshawnjr @paulseverio @StubHub @TeamStubHub @FTC @DOJFraudDiv Does not always work. Had my chatge back denied by @NavyFederal. I even tried to appeal or take it too a supervisor. Sadly, they agreed with StubHub even though I showed the seats sold were not the ones listed in the sale.

[DMV Driver @DMV_Driver]

@JeffKirkWeather @boston_drives The 10 minute wait time applies to comfort trips. The wait time does not change for Uber X or Uber XL trips, which is 7 minutes except for airport reservations and business priority. I had a business comfort pay full fare for a 10 minute wait and a no show fee one night.

[DMV Driver @DMV_Driver]

@1BillNY15 @boston_drives @mastagcha @Rides2U But if I cancel early because the rider is not ready, it is counted against me in Uber's dumb alogarithm. Or if I cancel because the rider changes the trip and Uber chooses NOT to share the changes or give a driver a opportunity to accept/ reject the new trip parameters.
