LEAVE A COMMENT at the bottom with your thoughts.  Do you think Uber is using their technology "for" or "against" the drivers?

When I get an Uber pool request from now on, I will open the menu of the ride and go to the bottom and ✋ stop new requests from coming in.  Don't allow Uber to jack you on your pool pickups.  If you're trying to earn the weak weekly bonuses for doing a set number of rides (whatever the number) then you should probably take all of the pickups in the pool to hit that number and then ignore anymore pools after that, or try my "pool stop" strategy. 

Personally I don't care to make $0.95 for each additional pick up because it's not worth it when someone's weighing down my car and using up my valuable time.   By the way, Lyft still pays you well for the Lyft Line pickups (you get the distance on each and every passenger in the queue).  That's a huge reason to switch to Lyft!

Assume that's a really long ride. I got to meet the busiest Uber driver "David" in Los Angeles a few weeks ago, and he was not happy because he told me he did a ride from Eagle Rock all the way to LAX (as a pool) and had to pick up one additional passenger near UCLA and only made $0.95 for that additional pick up.

 If he was getting paid the distance on both Uber pool customers, as he should have, he would have made about $100. Instead, Uber only paid him about $35. He said he complained to Uber about this happening, and he got no response -- literally not even an explanation. True story.
