Switch to Lyft. 🤷‍♂️ Mine usually goes 1 of 2 ways: Call Lyft, driver arrives in 1 - 3 minutes. OR: Call Lyft, see NJ Plate, cancel immediately, call Lyft again, driver arrives in 3 - 8 minutes.

Could be...but I would be more pissed off if I wait 10 minutes for them, get in the car, they drive me to the corner and then tell me they refuse to take me...and since I'm the one paying a healthy amount for said ride, I want to be the least pissed as possible.

Could be (though unlikely, but it has happened) one of those aforementioned customized TLC plates in which case they would be pissed off for you cancelling a trip to the city.

Neither is calling an Uber, waiting 5 minutes, getting re-assigned, waiting 4 minutes, getting re-assigned, waiting 5 minutes, cancelling, rebooking, waiting 5 minutes, getting re-assigned, ^waiting ^5 ^minutes ^getting ^re-assigned ^waiting ^5 ^minutes ^cancelling ^rebooking ^waiting ^5 ^minutes ^getting ^re-assigned ^waiting ^5 ^minutes ^getting ^re-assigned ^waiting ^5 ^minutes ^cancelling ^rebooking. ^^fuckiti’lljustwalk

Sounds like "luxury" housing.

An iPhone is absurdly expensive. The ride can be expensive most of the time... sometimes not. Took it (Lyft) yesterday for $34 which is reasonable. For the amount of times I use it, still cheaper than monthly car payments, maintenance, registration, inspection, upkeep, insurance, gas, EZ Pass and parking. 🤷‍♂️

I was dropping off my kids this morning and saw a group of kids grouping around what I thought were two parents trying to break up a fight. Now I realize that it was the parents who were fighting.

Keep it classy JC.

But not as quick to get to you, last minute, when you're running late.

Better yet... don't waste your time, and cancel it yourself.

Tried that but they all don't answer or take too long to answer. I just cancel it myself, immediately, if they have a NJ plate.

This used to be a huge problem for me and very annoying. I had this problem mostly with Uber, which I don't use anymore, for a variety of reasons. I now use Lyft exclusively, and I prevent the problem by immediately cancelling a ride that has a NJ license plate.

Is this the same with Lyft?

Lesson learned. ANY problem with a rental = written communication to owner. SMS/email should suffice in the beginning. Certified mail as an escalation.

Considering what you described, it won't hurt to contact tenant relations and hear what they have to say.

They don't know until they pick you up.

It's not worth it to go to NYC as an Uber driver. You end up getting less than minimum wage. Plus, this is more of an NYC problem not Uber or JC.

I saw this earlier; thank you. I was going to file this right before I got shocked because it was reaching the point that I needed to. The problem is I haven't super documented it well, but I'll leave this printed out.

​

I'll send things as email and certified mail next.

i always thought the driver knows where you are going, before he accepts also how much is charged. can any uber driver comment on this.

Waaay past the point to have tenant relations involved.

Because Uber has become profit vulture and gives zero fcks about their drivers. Considering the amount of T&LC cars I see around there’s no reason why they couldn’t control for this even if it means waiting a few more minutes for a car.

There are actual cab companies that you can call that will take you into the city - it's about the same cost as uber - lyft.

lol

Look I get it, some dogs might appear to be evil but the reality is all of these "bad," behaviors are learned. At the end of the day, the owner is responsible.

Replace the word "dog," with "child," and now almost 99% of people will agree that bad children tend to come from bad habits and poor discipline - unfortunately a sign of bad parenting.

Uber from jc to nyc is absurdly expensive.

I call them as soon as they accept the ride and ask them if they can take me to Manhattan. If they say no, MAKE THEM CANCEL THE RIDE. They will try to say no sometimes. Use Lyft or another app if they refuse. They can’t take another ride until you or they cancel but they also don’t want to cancel from their end because I think they have a quota. But make them cancel.

Net net theyre allowed to take you wherever if the ride originated in nj. They just can’t accept a new ride until they get back into nj. Not your problem.

You can make good money off Uber
