Just to be transparent, I usually accept one stool a day so they don't say I am being biased or racist or stereotyping or politically incorrect, etc. I also have to point out that it is usually after rush hour.
I picked up one this morning with destination filter on also just so Fuber can't say I'm discriminating. She was going to work at Krispy Kreme. At least she was outside waiting toes on the curb.
I would like to be transparent also. I absolutely under no condition accept uber stool pax. I am a independent contractor, my business focus are X, and XL pax only. It's just that simple. I'm here to make money, not to please Uber within reason. No bad habits...
I would like to be transparent also. I take UberPool on Boost, make Platinum in 31 hours, go home and enjoy life. If you are not in the Zone, you don't get a ride.
That's 3 trips per hour which actually doesn't seem like a lot when you think about it, especially if you have a few pools which could be 2-3 trips per ride.
I never pick up a pax over 5 minutes away (even at 2.5+), I live in the city and there's plenty of other pax to pick up during surges, not to mention pax have figured out to cancel request after 4 minutes as i draw closer than request new ride at cheaper fare...anyway. I love getting 1.4 pool requests 8-12 minutes away, laughing at them, ignoring request and then picking up 2.6 two minutes away going to O'Hare - $48 I earned (my take) for 45 minute ride. Learn to play Uber, don't let Uber play you.
The thing about pools that is hidden is that you put much more wear and tear on your car with all those extra stops and go's. You might not notice anything now but you will need maintance more often. So not only are you making less, it will cost you more
Well I know I haven't had any pools since last Friday...
Probably because I haven't driven since last Friday because of all of the pool requests I got and the fact that I only made about $400 in 24 hrs and 43 minutes online because of pools... and I just started 2 weeks ago.
They did put me on Silver for this week though but I'm sick of pools putting the strain on my car even for metal incentives. Keep it Uber.
Annnnnd an ESPECIAL Thanks to the Uberpool, entitled, spoiled brat, farting manchild in MY car. I know you're the one that gave me a bad rating for kicking you out after thinking it was funny too.
I can play BOTH games.
I'll drive again when the pools slow down, pay better, or STOP.
Still no timer on the update. Aghhhhh. Accepted a pool by accident. A few seconds later I get another request and ask my self was the first one pool too??? Yup! Yuck. At least I got my 2 pool rides for the day. Ha! 2 trips in like 10 min. I accept maybe 2 or 3 a day. So uber won't give me crap.
This was happening to me. They warned me ahead of time that my percentage rate was low and I may be deactivated so I had to accept all of them I could. So here I am in front of busy clubs and games being pulled 10-12 mi Utes away to pick these up so I don't get in trouble. Anyone know how I check my percentage?
I got a lot of pool pings tonight and let them all time out. A couple times it put me offline but I could log back on right away.
