When life nits insist that three stars should be the standard uber rating, and that they only give five stars for OMG UNBELIEVABLE service, and then dig in their heels and insist on continuing to do that even after they learn that the rating system is basically 5=pass, 1-4=fail because that's now how THEY would have set the system up.
I think it's completely fine. Every uber driver given a big enough sample size should get an equal amount of these people so it just serves to make avg ratings slightly more accurate as uber drivers who do give "omg amazing" service will have higher ratings than the others. Arguably... the more people who rate this way, the better.
How is that possibly better? What actually is "OMG" level service, anyway? I just want to get where I'm going in a car that isn't gross. Who gives a **** if you have ****ing mints in the car or not. What are you gonna do, keep cancelling drivers until you get one with OMG reviews?
I have only been in Uber three times , but they seem like drones that don't take optimal routes and are slaves to their GPS. I don't expect them to know my home borough like I do , but come on.
I took an uber in vegas from the strip to freemont. There were 7 of us and he showed up in an SUV with 3 rows of seats and played Bone Thugs N Harmony at our request.
I doubt there are cheaper cabs in any developed country.
I only say that because of "surge pricing" when the amount of drivers needed can't keep up with demand.
IME I just had to stay a little longer to wait for it to subside,no big deal.
I'm telling you that driving through NYC now is even more of a ****storm now , having to deal with the yellow cabs and black cars was ok , but now every Tom dick and Harry in Queens with a Taurus or an Elantra are just driving horribly , stopping In the middle of lanes , both the drivers and the passengers getting subsidized by Uber , hopefully the funding runs out soon and market rates return.
