Are you getting good matches for carpooling? What are some hotspots in Palo Alto (near downtown) where scoopers are regular? I’m guessing A9, AWS folks must be large in numbers there.
I used to drive until they matched me with someone that was basically a 1hr+ detour... Haven't used it since. The matching system may have improved though, hopefully
You can decline those routes free of charge. I had the same experience earlier on, eventually it gets better.
Lot more riders than drivers. I almost get matched if I'm driving not so if I am riding.
