Uber, lyft, etc also do a lot of hospital-to-home transport for otherwise ambulatory / self care patients. Wondering if theyre gonna stop picking up my Psych patients too.

Far more likely scenario Uber can now tell when you’re drunk, and don’t have a car and will charge you more because you’re desperate.

Drivers are currently making like $12-$14/hr, so…yup. And Uber will just deny my cleaning fee when someone vomits, soooo…yup. Not accepting that shit in my car and paying out of pocket to clean it after midnight, having to drag an unconscious stranger out of my car, etc.

Know what doesn't refuse to pick you up if you're pished? The Night Bus. # PUBLIC TRANSPORT WINS AGAIN! INVEST IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION!

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this comes from Uber drivers getting tired of being assaulted and having their vehicles trashed by drunk people. It’s not all of them, but it’s likely enough of them to ruin it for everyone.

last time i saw this image feels like ten years ago, did they even implement that at some point?

Recovering Uber driver here. I drove back in 2017-2018, and at that time Uber was starting to get difficult about reimbursing cleaning fees when some drunk puked in the car, which made fewer drivers want to pick up drunks. I can’t imagine the situation has improved since then.

This is as bad than Reddit. Random unsourced rumour with engagement bait and y’all just eat it up? Have some critical thinking ffs
