On the other hand, I've had a nearly identical experience with an Uber driver relying on GPS. In fact, it's been my experience that Uber drivers rely on their GPS far more often than taxi drivers, who generally give me the impression that they actually know the city that they drive in.
I wonder how long the average Uber driver has been driving professionally. I would be interested to see some stats on that subject, especially compared to regular taxi services.
- fennecfoxen 11y agoWell, as long as we're hating on Uber a little too, I'll put under Full Disclosure that there've been a number of times when the driver accepts my hail then proceeded to drive in the opposite direction for ten minutes... that's my main complaint honestly. :b
- richardbrevig 11y agoI had a driver stop to get gas on their way to me. Another one was very close when they accepted the hail, but after several minutes after I expected them to arrive I checked the map and noted they stopped at a CVS. It's been a while since I had this problem: many times I'd hail an uberx, it'd be accepted, and then I'd have to wait 8-10 minutes for the driver to leave their home. It was upsetting, and I think uber may have fixed it by now, but I had to remind myself it was still better than the experience I used to have when calling for a cab. I live in Dallas, btw.
- URSpider94 11y agoThis. I rarely have issues with Uber Black, but with UberX, I routinely have to keep one eye on the road so the driver doesn't get lost. It's one thing when we are headed to my house, but when I'm going to SFO, I expect any for-hire driver to just know how to get there. Especially now that Uber has nav built into the app!
