Uber drivers

[derrick]

If a Uber driver takes you all round the houses to get to your destination, should we except that. My wife seems to think it's OK. We're as I don't. Am I wrong?

 

[Baldy]

Not if they charge per mile.

 

[FishFright]

Agree with your wive and discuss it on here.

 

[Drago]

That's taking the wee. I wouldnt stand for it.

Are you still in the uber near Llanberis?

If it’s a pre agreed price then it doesn’t really matter.
unless they are going on a huge detour

Or they are over pricing and 'making it look good' by doing a bit extra mileage perhaps ?

I've never used Uber.

Some years back my American niece visited London. She was in her early 20s at the time and was in an unfamiliar city in an unfamiliar country. She needed to get somewhere and I was baffling her with endless public transport options and permutations, because, you know, all that local knowledge is important. Train here, tube there, short walk and change, get a bus, blah blah. She just whipped out her phone and summoned an Uber, rendering me utterly superfluous.

My time is precious. You waste it - I’ll ask you why…..so no. Not acceptable.

Why do you think this happened / is happening ?

Mrs CK tried to use an Uber that never turned up and then tried to charge a cancellation fee

On a trip to Vegas someone told me to say to the driver "go through the tunnels" otherwise you get a glorious round trip of the desert.

Ten dollars instead of 40.

We could see the airport from the fire escape in our hotel (MGM)

But the longer they take the more chances they have to show you their dazzling driving skills as they commit multiple traffic offences.

And if they have Wolverhampton taxi plates I believe they're totally exempt from any consequences.
