Sometimes driving as a Uber people like to “teach” all the way, and I just keep following the GPS. And then when they diverge from the GPS, I keep ignoring. They stop talking and arrive at their destination the same way😮💨. The trip could have a lot more enjoyable for both of us, but oh well…

The last time I rode an Uber, my driver did that and we got stuck in traffic as I advised we would. It was really awkward to sit there in silence for 25 minutes until we could get off the highway.

I mean the reason that I don’t listen to them anymore its exactly this reason. The GPS says its faster for this way and the person ask to go to a fucked up street that only passes one car at the time (And its both ways) and I just ignore it

Tbh, uber incentivizes that afaik, because there’s no time differential. If I take a taxi driver on a slower or longer route, they get paid for both gas and time, so it’s actually to their benefit. Of course, there’s a risk that they’re intentionally drawing it out, so you need to pay attention, but I tend to use buses/trains over livery in areas I’m unfamiliar with.
