re: What’s your Uber rating?

4.94

probably lower because I cancelled a trip one-time because the driver was taking forever to show up. Like literally sitting in his car a mile away not moving for what seemed like forever.

I don't know of a way to rate a rider who cancels, so I doubt that was it. The driver might have been doing that on purpose, hoping you'd cancel to collect his/her tiny cancellation fee.

I think, with ratings, it's so random, who knows why people rate you, or me, the driver the way they do. I remember randomly getting a 2 star out of nowhere when nothing had gone wrong, from my perspective. I think it was because they wanted to ruin my 5-star rating.

In general, I think both riders and drivers are almost always giving out 5 stars and not thinking about it critically, but you run into the occasional rider/driver that acts like some form of rideshare critic with how critical they are of what should be a casual trip.
