I'm really surprised by this... Like, over 40% of people don't feel awkward not talking to the drivers?

@bkardell@toot.cafe The poll isn't clear if they mean "talk" as in "keep up a conversation over the entire ride" vs "talk" as in "polite greeting & thanks when entering & exiting the vehicle". I only rarely take taxis, and never one of the other services, but I couldn't imagine not talking at all even if the route & payment are all handled by app. But I'm also not interested in filling the ride with chit-chat. Once we're settled, off we go, watching out the window until it's time to find a good drop-off spot. It's only awkward if the driver keeps trying to make conversation or asking personal questions.
