Yes, this is the thing. I don't think people realize that pick up trucks being as large as they are is a new phenomenon. 40 years ago they were way smaller. I can't imagine that the needs of most individuals changed in that time to require them to be as enormous as they tend to be now.

i had to do this a few times during the initial covid lockdown and it's safest to immediately chat any driver saying you are going to nyc and not wait for them to pick you up

This is now many hours old. Presumably identities are known and actors have been detained. Any new updates?

Nothing to figure out. As I said, my rides are smooth. From the drawn out example you gave, seems like you need to figure things out for yourself, or continue to have a miserable experience and continue to whine about it. The choice is yours. 🤷‍♂️

In the meantime, buy some GFIs. They'll protect from that.

You should look into a lawyer too if you're experiencing issues. That's terrible.

Not an option at this time unfortunately. But I'll be ready for it.

Happened last Wednesday, afterwhich I called 911, and was checked out with an irregular but otherwise strong heartbeat. As I have no pre-existing conditions, I didn't opt to be transported, but I've had ongoing pain on my left arm and leg.

The outlets had no ground connection, so I became part of the circuit. The landlord made some repairs, they just refuse to finish it.

I'll contact the HA.

Or, the companies that run these services can figure this out themselves so the consumer isn’t forced to manage the drivers on behalf of the company.

Bye Over_Cheetah_2959. Have fun continuing to use common words incorrectly!

Maybe like 2 years before pandemic but not since then they lowered the rates for drivers and charge the passengers way too much compared to what they pay

If you file a complaint you should also get ready to move....your crappy landlord will probably retaliate at lease renewal time.

No they do not uber use to be like that but not anymore

Which school?

Kids know well enough to get off grounds before brawling

Yeah I don’t take those calls. OP is right, they should fix the system, and it’s not my fault that they can’t organize it correctly. it doesn’t seem to be a hard issues to handle.

Also fwiw I don’t think it would do anything to reduce the surcharge.but it would make the user experience better for both the driver and passenger. Take the friction out.

Doesn't sound like you were electrocuted. That aside, contact the Housing Authority and file a complaint.

Where exactly did he make you get out at the Holland Tunnel? If it was actually all the way to the tunnel, meaning not a safe sidewalk for you to exit to, he could not force you to get out.

There are tons of NYC riders roaming around.

Used to have same issues when I was taking cab to the office. Best is to cancel immediately anytime they are not TLC. Usually with 1 or 2 cancellations, you can get a TLC driver. (I remember seeing an option like “Find a different driver” on Lyft).

I have heard most TLC drivers live in NJ and keep roaming around JC so they can go to the city with a fare (we pay the toll).

Uber/Lyft should definitely fix it.

Because there are few if any TLC driver roaming around on this side of the river and no one wants to come form NYC just to go back to NYC.

You have to get really lucky and get someone that just happens to be doing a drop of FROM NYC.

Ive had better luck taking an uber to path then getting an uber at WTC then getting an uber from downtown to NYC.

Your gonna get cancelled on 4-5 times easy.

​

FYI this is off peak hours- morning and afternoon Rush hours there is a good amount going back and forth but you also get surge pricing not making it worth it

I've only had this issue with Uber, and never with Lyft. That's not to say that's never the case, but that has been my experience.
