No, the app gives the driver a price for the ride. Driver has 20 (or 30?) seconds to accept or decline. So Uber sits in the middle, controls pricing in both directions

It’s actually 10 seconds. And they seem to like to make them pop up when you’re taking turns. They’re insanely evil.

Uber and Lyft both like to send the offer when you are busy making a turn or otherwise busy driving, so the driver has less time and attention to figure out if it is a bad deal.

Very dangerous.

  Yes! I just posted the same. It’s so true. I hope that company burns. I’m fighting to get out right now, but they know how to trap you.
