This encourages drivers to maximize each fare, though. So now every time my driver makes a wrong turn, not only does it cost me time but it also costs me money - and what's worse is the drivers are now incentivized to do this!
- melevittfl 7y agoTrue, although unlike a taxi, I can see during the trip the route the driver should be taking and, after the trip, I can see the route the driver actuall took. And, if the route taken is unreasonably different from the optimal route, I can complain to Uber and get a refund. So yes, while drivers may be incentivised to take longer routes, they can’t do it without being exposed.
- OnlineGladiator 7y agoEverything you just said applies to what Uber already has. This change is objectively worse for the customer in every way.
