Why should Uber drivers be forced to deal with shitfaced passengers? Unless the drivers have the choice of taking this category of passengers, this seems like a real shoddy deal for drivers, and a bad incentive for alcoholics.
- genericuser 12y agoThey have the choice of dealing with shitfaced passengers mainly through the hours they choose to work, pretty much all of them accept that working from late evening to early morning that most of their fares will be people who have been drinking, and a portion of those will be shitfaced.
- joshstrange 12y agoSo right now the #1 reason I use Uber/Lyft is because I am drunk or plan on drinking and don't want to: A. Leave my car downtown and have to get it in the morning B. Give drunk Josh the option to drive. I'd rather take a Lyft, not drink and take a Lyft back then take the chance that I will made a very stupid decision while drunk and drive home. I'm rarely "shitfaced" but most of my friends use Uber/Lyft that same way I do so I'm always drunk or planning or being drunk when I take a Lyft. For everything else I just drive myself. What I'm trying to say is Uber/Lyft drivers already deal with this so if this initiative helps to keep drunks off the road (both driving and walking, which I've heard can be even more dangerous than driving) then I'm all for it.
