This sort of discrimination is not limited to Taxi Drivers,
Speaking from experience, Uber drivers can and will reject a customer if they don't like the neighborhood you're traveling to.
- brobinson 11y agoHow does an Uber driver reject a fare they've already accepted? Since they don't know the destination until they pick you up, are they kicking you out of the car after they pick you up? I've heard that Uber tracks the number of "driver canceled after accepting a fare" incidents and warns drivers if they do it too frequently.
- dangle 11y agoUsers can enter the destination before being picked up. I've had drivers cancel before arriving, so I usually wait to enter the destination until my seat belt is buckled.
- brobinson 11y ago>Users can enter the destination before being picked up. Interesting! Is this just to get a fare estimate? I don't think I ever noticed this feature in the app back when I used it.
- TheAceOfHearts 11y agoIt lets you get a fare estimate and it lets you avoid having to spell out the destination address to the driver, so it's easier on both of you. This is especially true when the address contains difficult or uncommon words like Sycamore or Cheswycke, which I'm pretty sure I'd screw up writing, and I'd guess that others would as well.
- brobinson 11y agoThanks for the explanation. I had never seen/used this feature.
- cavisne 11y agoDrivers dont see the destination until they pick you up, quite deliberately.
- bbradley406 11y agoWhile this is true, it's pretty easy to infer from gps. If there's a 10 minute ETA and you just went over the proverbial train tracks into the bad side of town, or you're familiar with the surrounding towns, it's not difficult.
- pgrote 11y agoIs that before or after they accept the customer when it shows up in the app?
