    mike31 reacted to basescu in Uber customer telling lies to support agaisnt drivers   
    I had a customer which was very rude to me and I asked him nicely to get off my car because of his attitude which I am not willing to accept.
    Guess what?
    He said to Uber in my car was smelling like marijuana, I was driving careless, speeding.....so on.
    Uber got me de-activated and had to wait to wait for them to listen to my side of the story while me not being able to make money to provide for my family!!!
    Uber Client always first and then the driver....
    Be careful with strange customers, they can always make a serious allegation against you and by the time Uber will realise its all lies, you will lose days of work-we have no protection in this situations!

    we need to stick together on this, TFL is asking if they should charge us for CC, imagine 26,000 black drivers responding yes to this survey!

    Prefer no rights with flexbility to work when and where you want. 
     
    With rights, you're probably expected to work fixed, set shifts, and accept every job, including pool otherwise you'll be in breach of contract/agreement. You'll also be expected to wait in certain areas and you may not be paid to drive to the first pick up of your shift, and going home after last drop off (similar to working in any other job, i.e. office, Tesco, etc., they don't usually pay your commuting time).

    is still unclear for me if we can pick up or drop off at bus stop locations?
    i found this:
    Bus stops
    Although PHVs can stop to pick up or set down passengers at some London bus stops, it is recommended that drivers avoid these to reduce disruption to bus services. PHVs cannot stop at ‘bus stop clearways’ marked with a wide yellow line by the kerb and should not stop at bus stops on red routes.
     
    Taxis and private hire vehicles can pick up or set down customers in a bus lane even if they are not normally allowed to drive in it. The only exceptions are stretches of red route where stopping is not permitted because of the disruption this would cause to already busy roads. Taxi and private hire drivers should be aware that:
    Drivers should enter and leave the bus lane in the most direct and safe way Customers should never be set down in the middle of the road, even if the vehicle is stopped due to traffic - the driver must always get close to the kerb Private hire vehicles cannot stop at 'bus stop clearways' marked with a wide yellow line by the kerb. On red routes, both taxis and private hire vehicles cannot stop at bus stops marked with a wide red line by the kerb. At other red route bus stops, taxi and private hire drivers should avoid stopping to avoid disruption to the bus network   Remember, only licensed taxi drivers can drive in bus lanes - private hire vehicles are not allowed. Licensed taxi drivers should check the signs at the start of the bus lanes, however, because there are a still a number of bus lanes they cannot use https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/taxis-and-private-hire/parking-information

    mike31 reacted to admin in Just a driver like you!   
    I am an Uber driver since early 2013, working in London since 2011 in this business.
     
    I made this forum for all the Uber drivers who need new information and useful ideas for this business.
     
    I do believe that knowing each other and sharing information can bring us many benefits.
     
    Any ideas and pieces of advice regarding the website are welcomed
     
    I want this to be like a big community, where we join and meet each other in the virtual environment.
