That sounds like a nightmare. I often enjoy chatting with a travel companion, but some days I want nothing more than silence.

Precisely what I don't like about Lyft and the competing services. They don't stop talking. It's almost like they're instructed to be overly chatty. Silence isn't always bad at 8 in the morning when I'm trying to check email and communicate with work.

This is what is great about competition. You can pick the service that you like the most, as opposed to taxis that are all the same.

What you don't like about Lyft, is what I love about them. Their drivers seem to consider me a human being rather than a fare. So I always take Lyft as a default and fall back to Uber if they're not available, and taxis as a last resort.

Does anyone know why Uber doesn't easily just give you your own rating? If I know my rating is low then I know I should work on improving it if I want to continue using Uber...

Seems kind of like a win-win-win for all three parties (Uber, driver, myself)

I have absolutely zero interest in my Uber passenger rating. If they decide to start being ridiculous, I'll decide to start taking cabs again -- at least the cabbies generally have a clue about how to get to places, and don't bother with questions about "what route would you like me to take you on". The fastest route, thanks.

Uber policy dictated, at least at one point, to ask customers if they "had a prefered route"

Yeah no idea.. Im at 4.5 at the moment, am always standing on the curb for pickup and polite. I've also always ranked drivers as 5 stars. surprising

Lol. I always give them 5 too, and tip them additional cash even, and I have a 4.8. Jeezz though crowd. ;-)

Drivers don't know what you rated them.

The window.Uber variable has a lot of interesting information, like "isAdmin," data about the last vehicle I rode in (interior color, exterior color, model year, capacity), last driver's phone number, "activeExperiments" which I assume are multivariate tests being run against me, etc

The experiments data was the most interesting thing I found. I am in the treatment of an experiment involving driver referral emails

I don't get why Uber doesn't tell me the exterior color of UberX cars coming to pick me up. I have no idea what a "Nissan Versa" is; knowing it's a blue minivan would be helpful.

I agree - it seems like much better design to tell you the color of the car picking you up :)

For those people able to see colours.
