Uber and Lyft drivers share things that they’d love to tell passengers but can’t

“Don’t make us wait the full five minutes that Uber gives you. The app gives you a minute-by-minute update as to when we will be there to pick you up, yet you can’t be ready when we get there?”

“I love drama. I want to know 100% of the information, even though I know none of these people. There is no better way to pass the time with a stranger than gossiping about people I’ll never see again.”

“Stop assuming we don’t need tips because Uber pays so well. It doesn’t.”

“Seriously, though, it takes a high level of professionalism sometimes to prevent letting a rude passenger’s attitude affect your next passenger’s experience, especially during a rapid transition where your next ride is booked before the current one ends.”

“It feels great to hear a sincere ‘thank you’ from the customer after the ride ends.”

“I love listening to strangers’ conversations. Many don’t seem to notice or care, and I feel like a fly on the wall.”

“Don’t have a smoke just before getting in my car. Some people are heavy smokers, and they stink up my car with cigarette smell. I wish they would spray cologne or perfume before getting inside the vehicle.”

image

“Stop being such an a–hole to your drivers. I would love to tell rude and obnoxious riders to get out of my car.”

image

“The ride can’t always be perfect. You try doing this for a living — i.e. keeping your car pristine, predicting traffic and road construction, and always being in a good mood.”

“It’s a service industry — tips are appreciated. If you feel like you’ve been given above-and-beyond great service, throw a couple bucks to the driver. It makes a huge difference.”
