I am guessing the turnover on drivers for uber is pretty high.

Going from downtown I had one driver charge me just at $20 but I tipped him up to $25 I believe.
Oh okay, I can see that.
Yeah, the distance is one of the biggest reasons we avoid going downtown if staying at Jones' house.
From our regular bars, $6-$11 is the norm.

Dude I looked at your bill and without the stupid promotion that you I guess cant see your bill was over $5.00 in fact it was 25% discount for the 2 week promo they are running. That is why I left it alone.
So it was cheaper than $5?

I've been using uber for longer than 2 weeks. They're always running promotions.
So if it is less than $5, it isn't a $5 minimum
That also includes the tip.......................................................

Yep, part of the model. People do it for a summer, or a semester, etc.

Yea. One of my best friends works happy hour at Hueys so I'll meet him down there pretty often. He won't go out unless its to Hueys so if I want to see him I go downtown...
I'd rather never go out down there, but it has become a relatively regular practice of mine.

They do? Never have for me. Well UBerX hasn't.

0.25 for each person you're splitting with. Still not that big a deal.

The promo isn't 2 weeks. It's a summer long promotion.

I generally call for a cab around 1:15 to ensure I'll get one when everyone else is frantically trying to get one.. but a while back, I completely forgot and had to call at 2am like the tards do.
My cab never came, so Jones and I walked FOREVER home. When we were getting close to home, some random chick and her bf pulled over on Lee and brought us the rest of the way.
I was so happy

I didn't realize the drivers rate the passengers as well until I passed out in the back of one of the cars and the driver told me he was going to still give me a good rating.

I use to walk from Tigerland back to the dorms... That was a trek, but I always liked doing it, unless I could get a ride, obviously.

Welp.
There goes any chance of me getting luck with Uber
Posted on 7/22/14 at 12:38 pm to LouisianaLady
I have a $30 ride credit on my account. Maybe the influx of students will make it worthwhile for the consumer as they have a lower required income. Somebody said they got picked up in a F250 the other day. How that guy is making any money I have no idea.

On my profile can I see my rating or do only the drivers see my rating? Not sure if I'm just not looking in right spot or just doesn't show my rating.
Posted on 7/22/14 at 12:39 pm to I Love Bama
That's to use the fare spitting feature not for extra people

You can't see your rating. Not sure how it works really. I am guessing the drivers can filter who they see by rating?
