4.9
I always tip except the one time the driver was missing the exit then swerved and cut off another driver to get to the exit, nearly causing an accident

That there's a certain randomness to it.

I almost felt like writing to uber that they need to take nonUS reviews out of their US rating.


Yes! I used it abroad and there was a pickup mixup and now my rating is 4.6 and I basically only use lyft in the states.

LOL. Maybe that’s why, doc.

And then the first driver bailed out last minute and we had to start the search over for a new driver? And I had to wait 8 minutes?

And then — when they finally committed the quoted cost was $51 (it was ~$42 a couple of months ago). ????

I assume I have a lowest rating because I don’t always tip if the driver sucks




My understanding is that it’s also the distance. The incentives are stacked against long drives like upper NW to DCA.

If your score is low, and it’s a ridiculous bar, like 4.6, drivers won’t pick you up.

Taxi? Your hilarious. I tried calling a taxi and twice they never came to pick me up. Uber crippled them.

Haha. Just checked Lyft, and I have a 5 rating on Lyft.

I got reprimand message from Uber for not wearing a mask. I always wore one if the driver had one on and sometimes when they didn't. So I'm not sure what happened but it hurt my rating.
