Huh. Only time I say something is either “watch out, poloce likes to camp over there” and “…we’re going wrong way”.
The second one came twice. Both times, the driver ignored GPS xD

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.

I just love my local taxis.
"Hey, how much for taking me to X?
“5 dollars”
“Great, let’s go”

True, I really wish there was. Time is just as important as the Km/L, but they leave that to the Luck factor (Especially on big citys)
