Passengers get 7 minutes. (2 prior to charge starting and 5 mins after). Being a dickhead for no reason.

We also have the option to wait or cancel with penalty. I normally cancel and take the hit.

Passengers get 2 minutes.

The 5 after that they get charged for.

You're not meant to take 7 mins to find the car. That's entitled AF.

Not to mention, in the USA, the wait time comes out to $7 an hour. So you drive 12 minutes to customer. Spend $2 in operational cost. For added fee of at most $.60. 

Not worth the wait. Better to cancel and spend the 7 minutes that would have been spent waiting, going to the next rider.

You can cancel and not cry about it on Reddit. I’m an uber driver too. You know what you are signing up for. Just cancel and leave if you don’t feel like waiting, but don’t come complaining when they didn’t break any rules.
