inkman Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 I haven’t been using ride sharing much since COVID. My last two rides have been unbearable. The drivers absolutely cranking the ***** out of whatever garbage they are listening to and the temperature has been about 10 degrees in the wrong direction. I don’t recall it being this bad pre-pandemic. Has anyone else had experiences like this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like every other industry, help is hard to come by and standards have been lowered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to Minneapolis at the end of August. We’ll see if the ride share experience is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 I think this is one of those areas where NYC is different from almost everywhere else, but I haven't noticed much difference in Uber/Lyft since pre-pandemic, other than: - a bit more expensive - no more shared rides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This old dude, he was almost 70, pulls in my driveway at like 1:15 a.m. He had this rap/indie type music cranked. Pretty sure he woke up half my neighbors. He turned it down when I got in, and as soon as he was done talking, he cranked it right back up. Worst ride ever!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 I was in Orlando last month, and I used it to putz around to a few places outside of the Disney resorts. I had no problem with any of the ones I took. I actually typically enjoy talking with the drivers because most are from outside of the US, and they have interesting stories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
