Uber

What's up with uber? My recent drivers cannot use GPS, got lost and the experience was overall terrible. Makes me yearn for a cab. Why is anyone working for this shit show?!!!

GoDaddy engMgr Jul 25, 2017

Cannot use GPS? Ie they refuse, or the app simply won't let them?

Qumulo cloudysky OP Jul 25, 2017

Cannot as in are incapable of using a nav system. Not to mention not having any intate knowledge of major landmarks in the city. Do you really need GPS to figure out which highway to take from Seattle to the airport?!

Dell cvr Jul 25, 2017

Yes.. the driver quality in Seattle is going downhill fast even for uber black .. I watch them watch the GPS and *still* miss the correct turn. sad.

Dropbox sizzler Jul 25, 2017

It's the same in SF. Half my drivers now are either reckless assholes or incompetent.

Uber lovemenot Jul 25, 2017

Has nothing to do with Uber, GPS app is waze.

Tableau SloppyJoe Jul 25, 2017

Hmmm, it has everything to do with Uber. Are you saying somehow Uber drivers aren't Uber employees?

Uber lovemenot Jul 25, 2017

Conceptually agree with you, but can't force them to use GPS if they don't want to.

Dell cvr Jul 25, 2017

and closer to engineering.. let me enter my damn exact pickup address! 'move the map to adjust pickup' ?? whose idea was *that* 'enhancement' ?

Uber lovemenot Jul 25, 2017

That does not work in huge number of cases.

Uber fubar for Jul 25, 2017

You can enter your pickup address. Unless you haven't updated your app in a year lol

Disney .SHYGUY. Jul 25, 2017

Yup, take Uber at least 4 times a week. Getting shitty during peak hours.

Uber snapadeal Jul 26, 2017

Can you let us know the problems. We'll definitely look into it.

Lyft Utahg Jul 28, 2017

Use Lyft. Simple

Uber lovemenot Jul 28, 2017

Just to be fair, you use the same drivers and the same GPS app.

Lyft Utahg Jul 28, 2017

But we pay them better for the inconvenience caused.

Uber is not going to ever be able to offer its users true safety and security because it's NOT a True Sharing Economy. The business model is flawed. Caluber will be launched in a few weeks and will make Uber and Lyft obsolete. Nobody really wants a stranger picking them up or delivering their food. It's absurd that in today's world, Uber is actually considered a safe way to travel....insane! Www.CalEats.com Get ready.

Lol how’d that work out
