I completely agree. It should be a fixed price, incentivizing the driver to take the most efficient route.

I also don’t want my driver to see where I’m going, because not all rides are big fares. Sometimes I must get somewhere close and I don’t want a hassle.

Uber has gotten a lot of bad press lately and I think unfairly so.

What’s worse is Amazon’s gig program. Let’s say your doing jobs like assembling BBQs and Treadmills for customers. They don’t pay trip time to the job, so you can drive 40 miles only to find out half the screws are missing. You must get the customer to request the parts, come back, only to find it’s wrong again.

You take a big hit refusing the job but you have to take all the shitty work to get the chance of a real profitable gig.

Much worse than ride share semantics, IMO.

Anyway - another reason to use Lyft.

Don’t the same laws apply to lyft too?

It does, but Lyft might respond to the law differently.
