I drive for Uber and Lyft and.... (Score 1)

There's no point to this. Uber and Lyft guarantee your fare. It's not going to be less if you go a smidge shorter on your route. I get people who get in my car and want me to uturn on a residential street, thinking it'll save them on the .3 miles if I just went forward and drive around the block. If the shortest route is full of lights and traffic but there's an equal time route that's highway and less stressful, I'm going there less stressful route. If the passenger disagrees, I'll be happy to end the ride. The driver has the most at risk in that ride, and the rates have fallen to the point I don't give a damn if Uber or Lyft throw a fit. Sorry but that's the truth.
