What's your Uber experience?

I don't understand why Uber drivers are allowed to select rides which means now I have to wait 5 minutes + to find a Uber Driver and then another 10 minutes to wait for the ride.
In Malaysia, Grab will disqualify you for 15 minutes if you decline a ride request for 3 times in a row.
I think this must be enforced here in Australia.

I took 45+ Ubers in South America over 2 months recently...it was a God send...no language barrier, no local cash issues and no airport transfers rip offs

I caught an Uber home last week from the city to inner suburbs. A friend lives only two blocks from me so I asked the driver if he could stop on the main road just near her road.

He carried on a like a pork chop and said I should have booked two destinations and Uber would know that he had stopped and he would get into trouble. I wasn't asking him to go out of his way at all. I asked him how Uber knew that he stopped and let someone out as opposed to just stopping for traffic. He whinged and moaned but did it - I was going to give him a tip to say thank you but his attitude just really annoyed me.

Uber x prices going up 9.5% in Brisbane next week. Not a fuel surcharge for the drivers, but a general increase, i. e. Uber will take their margin from that.

It’s an American tech company.. What do you expect? Morals? Fairness?
