I head to the Mission, hoping to get some fast rides. Hit it and quit it. That’s the name of the game with the late night drunkies. Cabs, Ubers, Lyfts, towncars… practically every car on the road is looking for passengers. 8220;I’m right on the corner of 12th,” Miguel tells me. Miguel and his girl are drunk.

Behind the Wheel: A Rideshare Confessional: The Paradox of Ridesharing
http://idrivesf.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-paradox-of-ridesharing.html
Saturday, October 11, 2014. The Paradox of Ridesharing. That poked fun of the jingoistic tendencies of the Lyft faithful. After that, I got kicked out of a group set up by Lyft drivers in the Bay Area. And then some Lyfters on a group for Uber Drivers had me kicked out of there.

I was in between jobs...Not that it...

http://idrivesf.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-day-in-life-of-rideshare-driver.html
Monday, December 8, 2014. A Day in the Life of a Rideshare Driver. An excerpt from Behind the Wheel 2: Notes from an Uber/Lyft. Most days, I wake up around noon. Usually hung-over. My first thought is always the same: probably should’ve skipped that last drink. At the time, though, it felt absolutely necessary. Vodka has a way of alleviating some of the physical stress from driving a car all night. At least temporarily. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). You can now find me here. View my complete profile.
