When you take an Uber/Lyft or other ride share service, you're exploiting the driver, who on-average is earning less than $6/hour once their costs as an "independent contractor" are factored in, according to an analysis of 84 million rideshare trips. Stop being an asshole.

Recently heard about a Rideshare driver in NYC getting shot in the head. Evil, and to anyone in the Rideshare business, stay extra vigilant out there.

yikes. So my sister just informed me that when she Ubered to work this morning a white car pulled up right as it did right in front of her.

She almost got in, but checked the tags, they didn't match but the car behind it did, it sped off as soon as she backed away and the driver never turned his head to her. Weirder then is how odd the uber driver was acting. Refused to talk, would not look at her.

It sounds to me like a trafficing scam if im being honest. Be weary.

Honestly i can't help but feel like she dodged something extremely bad...always check the tags and be aware of your surroundings.. :/

Uber, Lyft would need to cut emissions under WA state plan

Some studies have found the ride-hailing services increase vehicle miles driven and pollution.

Supporters of House Bill 1075 say it’s an important step, given the growth of such companies in recent years. Multiple studies have found that ride-hailing vehicles emit more greenhouse gases per passenger mile traveled than the average car, partly because of the time they spend driving between trips.

Yet concerns remain about how to prevent low-wage Uber and Lyft drivers — most of whom use their own cars — from absorbing the costs of transitioning to all-electric vehicles.

State Rep. Liz Berry, D-Seattle, said it’s incumbent on companies such as Uber and Lyft to shoulder those costs. She’s the prime sponsor of HB 1075, which would direct the state Department of Ecology to set mandatory emission reduction targets for ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. California legislators adopted a similar plan in 2018.

Ghetto Uber gets called out

Springfield now has a name for they ghetto ubers

Of course ghetto Uber is a better choice, right? Cash only and you get to ride in a car with a person off Facebook without worrying about those pesky safety protocols, because nothing bad will happen. Well, Ghetto Uber got called out, and showed his professionalism.

A valid point, don’t say you are Uber when you clearly are not. Just say you are charging people for rides. But never fear, it…
