It gets better. She said she cried when she saw the dent on her car after lunch. What an actress. But a really bad one.

My office is here. But also better access to the city than what I have now in CNJ.

I dont even consider this an uber problem that they need to address, so idk. One day when all states need TLC or no one needs one. *solved*

It's an excuse. I printed out pictures of trash cans at subway stations everywhere from NYC to DC to Atlanta to Israel to Tokyo. "The PATH is the most threatened network in the world". Fuck outta here. Anything to save a buck

Unfortunately, none of this is new. One comment, or a million, the PA knows they've got you over a barrel because the other options to cross the river are even worse. Just pray they never go on strike again.

> Uber really doesnt care if a driver cancel on u

That’s very short-sighted. Uber should care if they care about customer retention.

This stuff leaves a bad impression on passengers and makes them less likely to use the app in the future. No well-run business would turn away paying customers like that.

My company pays for car rides when I have to commute early in the morning or late at night. So even though I don’t care about the price, I definitely use Uber less than I would if I were 100% sure they would send me a TLC driver when I request a ride from JC to NYC. I’m sure I’m not the only person in this situation.

as said before

>back to the same point. drivers that lives in NJ with NYC TLC plates, they got it so they can work in NEW YORK CITY... not so they can drive back and forth NJ/NY all day. once again, this TLC restriction is a NYC problem and Uber really doesnt care if a driver cancel on u after he found out ur traveling cross state because he doesnt feel like wasting his time. blame this on NYC needing a TLC to work in their area.

Most of our cans were removed after 9/11. Bombs being hidden in trash cans was a real fear here, too. Backpacks were randomly searched. Look what happened at the Boston Marathon. Exploding backpacks. Clear cans are a nice idea though.

Love to plead guilty to KNOWINGLY leaving the scene of an accident and then turn around and say “I didn’t know I hit someone!”

A lady honked at me and my daughter while we were on a crosswalk. My daughter was 14 months. I yelled out with a smile “C’mon…did you just honk at a baby?”

TLC drivers are everywhere in JC. Just take a look at license plates the next time you’re out and about.

I take Uber to work in midtown Manhattan semi frequently because it’s much faster than taking public transit at 6am.

Most of the time, I get a driver with TLC plates on the first try. But it is super frustrating when the app does match me with someone who doesn’t have TLC plates. It’s made me late for work a few times.

Uber could easily solve this problem by tweaking the code to at least give passengers the option to filter out non-TLC plates.

But you gave the answer! Clear trash cans! Novel!

It turns out we can do the same here, but it was never really about security. It was about cost cutting. Always.

No, it’s just douchey

Trash cans in stations ARE a security risk. In the UK we used to have IRA bombs planted in them in busy stations especially by the exits where there would be dozens of people. Now if there are any they are clear so that you can see the contents. It was a surprise to me when I moved to the US to see trash cans in station locations with heavy foot traffic.

> #1 why would any NJ uber drivers have a TLC plate

Drivers don’t need to live in NY to get NY TLC plates.

Some NJ-based Uber drivers get TLC plates because they can make more money by being able to pick up passengers in both NJ and NYC.

TLC plates do involve extra licensing and insurance costs, but the benefits outweigh the costs for people who drive for Uber/Lyft full-time.

Still crazy she spray painted her car a different color and rammed into Taqueria on Saturday.

Skipped around a bunch of it. She blathers for half an hour, but she can’t give details because of pending civil litigation.

TLDR: she’s super sorry, didn’t want to hurt anyone, and somehow didn’t realize she hit the guy (hence why she just cruised off).

Someone-maybe op?- give us a synopsis?

Check out “the lively”

I'm just waiting for them to turn Fridays into a weekend service... I'd like them to use that money to improve weekends but I guess I'm dreaming.

Via should offer service between JC and NYC.

Plenty of them try and grab a fare into the city when they start their shift. I’ve certainly experienced the same problem that the OP is describing. Like myself and others have suggested, a simple text can save a lot of time. It’s really not a huge issue.

Low expectations for concept and broey location. Hope it exceeds them.
