I've been an Uber driver for three weeks now. AMA!

One person who got in my car told me he was just in a cab and the dude had no idea where the downtown airport was. We were literally three minutes away from said airport.

I mentioned to a colleague the other day that I'd taken the bus downtown to a brewery and he looked at me like I was deranged.

one of my friends owns a pedicab business. He has two or three pedicabs. He rolls one of them himself four or five days per week and has a few people working for him. He makes pretty good money.

Fuck pedicabs. Driving around the meuseum campus acting like pedestrians are just in their way. Ugh

I think I'd feel really fucking ridiculous in a pedicab.

$300-$500 per night, cash money

Ideal for a spot of tax evasion, which is where the savings are really at.

So, I'm at the airport dropping someone off and I get a notification. I pick up a dude at a gas station right outside the airport proper and he's going to goddamn TOPEKA. For those not familiar with the literal middle of America, that is in another state and that is at least 75 minutes from KCMO, and there's a toll.

I mean, I ended up taking him, but I lose gas coming back! He did tip me and he paid for the toll but the driver who picked him up before me had picked him up at the airport then dumped him at the gas station when he became aware of the destination.

Yes, that's a bit of a drive. You're TOO nice! I would have been like.. cya later.

We do not have public transportation here. You have to pay greyhound to take a van up to Kalispell or down to Missoula which runs once a day. We have two cab companies for the lake area and they are both usually drunk.
