🤔 When I was actually a teenager I hitchhiked a lot. Lots of people did. Friends hitchhiked. Some hitched through Europe. I picked up hitchhikers.

I last hitched a ride 15-20y ago, & that was very unusual. I don't think I've seen a hitchhiker in a decade or more. 🤷

Do you or other people still hitchhike where you are? Or did "if you hitchhike you're either a serial killer or about to become a victim of one" win our hearts & minds?

These French guys drove a #rideshare #bike straight into the live #track during a power outage! And we're able to pull it out just in time before the #train came 😅💪🇫🇷

Sydney Airport taxis are back to the shitfuckery from the pre Uber days. Just stood waiting for 25 minutes while Uber and Didi apps both tell me it's "busier than usual" (maybe 1 car a minute through the Priority Pickup) and that they'll have a ride for me in 2 minutes.

Walked out of the airport and had a car in 2 minutes. $18 vs the $32 quoted at Priority Pickup.

Xpeng dealership is the place to drop the pin. If arriving domestic.

Uber Ettiquette: Look, I know you feel you are running late and that’s what you called an Uber for, but do not have them pick you up along the busy street at the height of rush hour when you can have them pick you up at the parking lot not 20 feet away.

I know that person did not care, but think about the safety of everyone, and reduce the chance of an accident, since causing one by your inconsideration will for sure make you later.

Update: After complaining loudly in chat with customer service, Uber ended up refunding the whole ride. I am glad they chose to do the right thing. I just wish it didn’t take so much work to get them to do so.

Uber would rather keep some money than make things right for a customer.

Yesterday’s ride had a tire fail about 30 minutes from our final destination. The driver, who was really nice, had to cancel the ride before getting us home. My daughter and I had to call for (and pay for) another ride to finally get home.

Uber charged me for the full ride even though we were about a dozen miles from the destination.When I asked for that to be reviewed and get a partial refund, they said no.

I don’t use ride share much, I am glad there is still competition because I will be using other ways of getting around instead of Uber.

The shortsightedness of Uber customer service to cling onto a money instead of making things right has lost them a customer and garnered them negative social posts about the experience.

I’m sure that me not using their service occasionally won’t hurt their bottom line. Nor will this post do much damage — though you can help spread it with a boost.

That’s the sad thing about large corporations, they don’t feel the repercussions of their bad behavior. It sucks.

But, I will still vote with my money and not give Uber any.

This is a first. Tire ripped off the wheel of the Uber we are in.
