What ever your experience with them may be, as a rider, a driver, ordering, etc.

I've never rode. I've ordered a million times.
I've driven many times. Driving is cool, but there are a lot of caveats to mind. When I first started driving, I had to make a lot of initial upfront investments like toll tags, cameras, etc.
I like driving, but, sometime I get sleepy from boredom. And you have to take the trips that come or they ding you on your acceptance rate, and you could be coming from a call that sent you out to the middle of nowhere.

You?

Nothing but good experiences for the most part; there was a window back in like fall 2020 in vegas where unemployment bonuses were still everywhere, so it was impossible to find an uber. found one that was 20 minutes away which is insane for normal vegas times. as he got to about 2 mins away and was finishing up his prior trip, he cancelled. so we had to sprint from luxor to caesars palace to make our show.

shit was brutal but totally worth it. and nothing but good experiences outside that window

Yeah, I was going to a call once and accidentally fucked up my tires and had to cancel on them at the last minute. Even if they understand, from Uber....that's a paddlin'.

Useful and fill a good niche...but also a vile cutthroat company that absolutely has caused people to be hurt willfully or through gross negligence and has no qualms breaking the law and being dishonest.

I get that impression too sometimes, often times, as a driver.
And man, you KNOW they employ a handful of psychologists there. The way they get drivers to go out through incentives...it's quite manipulative.

Used plenty of Ubers. Rode maybe 1-2 taxis. Fuck taxis. At least Ubers have to pretend to be nice to you so they get rated well.

I take it sometimes. I did some food delivery for them at the beginning of the Pandemic. I'd never drive another person in my car.

I use it primarily going to the airport, somewhere I dont want to pay for parking, and when Im going somewhere Ill be drinking. It serves those purposes very well. Though I tend to use Lyft more because its usually cheaper. The average Lyft car is older/not as nice as Uber in my experience but I honestly dont care much about it as long as I get to the destination in one piece.

Could you elaborate please? This will be my first foray into the tax situation for driving for Uber.

Ive only used it once when I couldnt get a complimentary ride home from the body shop, but overall its convenient and cheaper than a taxi.

Useful service. I use it when I'm in a rush. The labour practices seem okay and I like that those jobs are there and accessible. Of course it mostly depends on the whim of the tipper to be lucrative.

Also I've thought about getting a bike and delivering food but I know people hate that lol.

As a user, I can't complain. I don't use it as much now since I got my license but it's useful in a pinch and I haven't had any negative experiences with drivers.
