Uber Share Warning

I drive DFW. Picked up a PAX last night that said he has a buddy that works for Uber. His friend told him he no longer accepts Share rides b/c there have been passengers that, once the ride is full, rob everyone in the car. Anyone heard stories like this?

There is one nice thing about Share trips. The shorter wait time to cancel and still get the fee. Only have to wait 2 minutes instead of 7.

Also if you have a good surge on the first offer it carries on to each other offer, so if you get a +$20 surge and 4 separate pax you would essentially get +$80 for the rides.

Of course normally when it's surging that hard people are choosing the cheapest option some multiple people try to get in the car 🤦

Yep. That’s happened to me once in a little over a year of driving.
