There are suburbanites around Chicago that use Uber to get home from the City after a night out. Think ~$25ish fares to get from Lincoln Park to Lincolnwood or ~$35 to Niles. Do Uber drives like these types of rides, or is it a major pain in the rear end and they only do it because Uber hides the destination from you until it's too late?

Eskaton posted:Luddism was dumb in the 19th century and still is. NPR's Planet Money had an interesting podcast about Luddites recently. The really interesting part is that the Luddites were basically rational actors. The machines did take their jobs, and it was generations before a factory worker's living standards got to the point where it was before automation. We're much better off today that they lost the fight -- but the Luddites stood to lose a lot if automation won, and they did lose a lot. The parallels to today's economy are incredibly obvious.

zVxTeflon posted:lol do uber riders really expect you to give them bottled water and access to phone chargers? They did when the service first launched. It's also half the price of when it first launched. That article linked above really nails what they've tried to do. Get a really good first impression. Then ride it.
