I've been using Uber a lot since the beginning of the pandemic. I'm quite interested in how things work on their end some drivers are willing to share the 'painpoints'. Cherry picking is bad for the customer, but: 1) In London, a lot of Uber drivers stopped going to central London because of the congestion charge. Essentially if you go there, you pretty much have to stay there all day to make it worthwhile. 2) They can't plan their time. Imagine you want to finish in the next 10min and pickup kids from school. Instead, you get to drive 2 hours to another city ( it does happen). 3) Long rides don't make much sense for drivers financially,so they often prefer local,shorter trips.

That such for you.. the great thing that happened for USA California right before the pandemic was it gave us full details (How much pickup location, and drop off location) prior to accepting, but of course this was only to satisfy PROP 22, now as of 5/18/2021 they took it away since the bill had passed to keep UBER here...i think all cities, counties, countries, all over the world have to do what California did but make it stick, for now i only do "set destinations" to stay where i want... note for those that like to driver miles and hours.. kudos to you.. but for those that want to take control...i can only hope for this
