Define make a living. Last I checked, $200 per 30 min (even if you only get an 80% cut) is way above standard paygrades. But continue putting your head up your ass oblivious to what skills are and basic supply/demand.

I bet you think $15 is minimum for living like a bunch of other fast food workers?

Unions were created primarily for working conditions, not pay dip shit. Nice try though.

Link to $200 per 30 min ride?

Does Uber ever mess with ratings? I know on eBay that they'll make small adjustments to your seller ratings. I assume it's to help adjust for differing opinions on what constitutes a 4 or a 5, but I'd have things like shipping speed and packaging be a 4.6-4.8. eBay will adjust them to a 5 for me so it looks better, and frankly, given that I'll go out of my way to ship anything over $100 on the same day (as long as it's before cut-off), I think that's fair. :p

ORD is bad. I found out that there are all kinds of stupid rules like if your destination is in a certain suburb you are charged 2x the fare because the cab company that is allowed to pick you up at the airport isn't allowed to pick people up at your destination. Nothing like government allowed monopolies



You can tip in the app


Ord has good public transportation if you are a business traveler. There are train and bus that will take you close to your destination. I used lyft on ohare with public transportation. Whats a little walk?

Not to pour it on, but you have a professional job? With that attitude you display daily for all to see here?

While I appreciate that the L has great service from ORD and MDW its certainly not going to work for every business traveler. For example I have been to Naperville a couple times and that is neither public transportation distance nor walking distance. Evanston, while technically possible, is far from convenient using public transportation
