I got a text and email just now saying I'm not accepting many rides... I can only assume that when I left the app running while gassing up and pissing, some bloke wanted a ride. My bad. This email pisses me off! I wound up in Cocoa Beach last night with two rides in 4.5 hours. Too many drivers, not enough riders = not many rides.
I wish their "incredible earning machine" ads they are running on TV told people what Uber really is. I have been trying educate people who could use Uber and don't know what it is, and this is what we get...
Here is what they said:
You haven’t been accepting many rides lately. When you receive a trip request, we’ve matched you with a rider that’s close by. If you pass on those trips, ETAs increase for other drivers and wait times go up for riders. And you miss out on a nearby fare.
The more trip requests you accept, the more you’ll earn.
If you don’t want to accept trips, just press “go offline.” We’ll be able to match riders more quickly, and drivers in the area will earn more.
