In SF I always use Uber over taxis for the better experience of hailing and paying for a ride. But within the last year I notice every day how bad Uber drivers are severely affecting the city for the worse.
So many uber drivers don't know how to safely park to pick up or drop off passengers without blocking traffic. Drivers don't know the fastest or safest routes to get around with other drivers, busses, cyclists, pedestrians and construction.
I don't want to see Uber regulated to hell, but I would like to see features of taxis required for drivers like signs on top of the cars indicating cars for hire, and most importantly lots more training about road safety.
- _-__--- 11y agoThere is potential for uber infrastructure to self-regulate - continuously giving bad ratings to bad drivers will see them reprimanded in some fashion (I imagine). I've had (mostly) good experiences here in Boston/Cambridge; any bad experiences I've had have been documented with 1 to 2 stars and a quick explanation as to why. I admit that I have no idea how the reprimanding of drivers of the handling of bad customer reviews is performed by Uber. Hopefully it's done in an honest way.
- bbreier 11y agoThis is just hearsay, but I was told there is basically a minimum rating and if they drop below it for any meaningful amount of time they are fired.
