First time using. Are there no cars available right now or am I doing something wrong?

I move pin to Perkins/Acadian and still nothing. Any help appreciated

People must have realized driving part time for über blows.

Probably none available. Did you slide over to the UberX tab? There are usually WAY more cars there.

As new as it is, I wouldn't be surprised if there were no cars at this time on a Tuesday.
This might actually be one of the few times a shitty stinky slow cab would probably work better.
Have cash and map for your driver though.

Ya your best bet is always Uber X, more drivers and it's cheaper. I only get a black car for dates or an SUV for large groups

X is the only thing available in BR right now. No swiping option on the app.

Shoot me your promo code and you can get a free ride. I haven't used one yet.

It takes a while to get ramped up, it was even slow in Houston when it first started. Now it looks like someone kicked an anthill on the screen.

The first time I used it the same guy that dropped me off, picked me up, 4 hours apart.

Did you get your ride? There's one at Perkins/College Dr right now.

This. Give it time. Even in Houston it was slow at first during week days.

No, but I didn't request after all because the reason became moot. I would have though in the first 30-40 mins I first got on.

It was just odd timing I guess. I download the app after signing up a few days ago and just nothing. There are two cars now. I've avoided the many threads but I can see why it's a topic of interest.

CT, I don't think I have a code otherwise I would. Is it in an email?

I down loaded and I'm off highland at I-10 and it tells me I'm out of service area. I'm guessing because it's new? Someone in the other thread said it was because of the five dollar ride.

Have you used UBER yet? I had it backwards. I can send you my code and your first ride is free. I will get a free ride once you pay to use the service.

Shoot me an email and I'll explain how to use the codes.
