What is your Uber rating?

4.75

[Giggles]

What's an Uber rating? Have you forgot a link or do you mean the rapey taxi service?

[-james-]

The latter. I fear this may be too millennial a thread.

[Disco]

I have a car.

[Baz]

I should probably start using Uber instead of random local taxis.

What are the pros and cons?

[Lewis]

Is that what they rate you as a passenger? Why isn't it more you dickhead?

[Giggles]

I have a car.

There's the correct answer.

[-james-]

I have a car.
It's mostly trips through a city and/or excursions involving me not being able to drive. City driving is awful.


I should probably start using Uber instead of random local taxis.

What are the pros and cons?

It's just more convenient, and pretty cheap.


Is that what they rate you as a passenger? Why isn't it more you dickhead?

Not sure. Probably the occasional 5am ride where I've shown up late/incoherent/with a group of loud idiots.

[Giggles]

I don't know if we even have Uber but from what I gather you go on an app and then the closest car comes and brings you wherever. Thats what our taxis do anyway.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Never used it.

I just use my car.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

For a brief moment I actually thought of being an Uber driver.

I then realised how shit it would be like any taxi like service.

[Boydy]

4.8

Don't use it very much at all though. Pretty much just when I'm in London. Apparently it's pretty shit in Belfast as there aren't enough cars and it's more expensive than the two large local taxi firms which cover the whole city anyway. Think they've both got their own apps now too.

[Spikey M]

I have a car.

This.

And I don’t want my sweet, sweet arse being sampled by an undocumented Lithuanian sexual predator.

[Lewis]

Of course Belfast has two large taxi firms.

[Spikey M]

Of course Belfast has two large taxi firms.

:D

[Boydy]

Of course Belfast has two large taxi firms.

:D

They're actually not on that basis. Both based in the city centre and cover all parts of the city.

[igor_balis]

4.38

[mugbull]

Oof

[igor_balis]

think my rating is skewed by a couple of spackers getting confused and saying i didn't turn up for my ride when they parked about half a mile from where i actually requested it. neither cunt answered the phone when i tried to tell them they'd gone to the wrong place, either.

[Pepe]

Fuck Uber.

[mugbull]

That 4.38 maybe the lowest Uber score i’ve ever seen

[mugbull]

Fuck Uber.

I too am morally incorruptible and therefore use only Lyft

[Giggles]

If Pepe Hayes Uber then I may not have given them enough consideration.

[Spikey M]

Caring about someone’s Uber rating is possibly the most hilariously cunty think I’ve ever known.

[Kikó]

4.6. no idea probably due to my smugness.

[SvN]

Mine is 4.54, I've had a few cancellations where they wouldn't take my dog after I called, but refused to cancel to try and make me pay the £5 fee. Fuck you, if you don't want to take me, then you cancel. Those have definitely cost me.

I've also gotten one star reviews after being on time, sitting silently in the back, and giving them a tip. It seems random at times.

[Pepe]

It's easy to be anti-Uber when never needing a cab and having a phone with no space for extra apps tbf.

[Dark Soldier]

I just get a taxi the proper way.

Do you never go out and drink?

[Spikey M]

Jumping in one someone else called by pretending your name is Tanya?

[Spikey M]

Do you never go out and drink?

He’s married to a French bird, of course he fucking does.

[SincereTheRebel]

Ive never used Uber but the concept behind it is incredible. Actually, I don't think ive ever used a normal taxi.

[ItalAussie]

4.87

Used to be cheaper than taxis here. Now it isn't, so I'm souring on the concept.

[Pepe]

Do you never go out and drink?

If I do I take the metro.

[Dark Soldier]

Jumping in one someone else called by pretending your name is Tanya?

Windmill me dick outside the offices until someone does something

[mugbull]

If I do I take the metro.

Ok that’s the one

[The Merse]

4.53. Never looked before today, nor have I ever looked at the drivers rating or contributed to it.

[Queenslander]

4.86

No idea what I did to rate lower.

[Mellberg]

4.63

Jealousy, at a guess.
