[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I still can’t request or search for my favorite Uber drivers by name? [/quote]
Nope.  When you need a ride from your favorite driver, he or she will most likely either be 10+ miles away or asleep.  The service is meant to be quick and efficient.  Most of my uber pick-ups have a 2 minute ETA or less because I camp out downtown where it’s most dense.  I usually decline anything with a pick-up time of longer than 5 mins, because time/miles spent driving to pick up the passenger are unpaid.[/quote]

Do you make more on the single riders or on the group rides? [/quote]
They pay out the same. An uber isn’t like a taxicab where they charge an extra dollar per head.  But technically speaking, the more weight in the car the more it costs in gas to haul them around.  Cramming four 250lb bros in the car is pretty miserable, but those rides are the most likely ones to tip because they’re saving a bunch when compared to four separate metro fares (but overall, tipping is still weak).  So with being said, a solo ~100lb female (or male) is the most profitable ride, lol.  [/quote]
