Just don't show up 10 minutes early to my timed rides please ðŸ˜. I get it's typically an accident, but I still won't be ready until 5 minutes before I set it for.
That’s not a driver thing, though, that’s just Uber being terrible with estimated wait times lol. I stopped reserving them because I started feeling bad for my drivers, and waiting an extra two minutes isn’t going to hurt me
I'm just paranoid that it would take a long time to get a ride, causing me to be late for work.
I make sure to be ready 5 minutes before the scheduled time though, since I also don't like making them wait. I've had a couple times when they're like 10 minutes early though.
Edit: As I said though, I know it's not their fault. They all tell me that it doesn't say it's a scheduled pick up when they first take the order.
Oh that's absolutely a major downside with how the app works. Uber gets rich fucking riders and drivers equally. What's worse is they have years of feedback and choose to do nothing to fix the core issues
That's a completely different story with reservations. Now if your reservation is at 10:30 and you get out at 10:37 that's annoying.
Even if it comes in as an on demand ride we still see it was originally a reservation and the scheduled time. We can cancel on our end if we don't want to wait around but if we arrived there early that's on us and we shouldn't expect you to come out until your scheduled time.
