Sometimes, you just can’t make this stuff up. Do you look like Zach Galifianakis and drive for Uber in Nashville? If so, we need to talk. We’re just going directly to the report: I just had a passenger tell me that his last Uber driver was cutting him down, telling him that he had a little…….I’ll just say wanker. Straight up class and professionalism right there; I can’t believe some of these people have a job. And I’m not the type who usually cares what other drivers say or do,…

New Year’s Eve in Nashville: The Rideshare Surge, $600+ Uber/Lyft rides?
While an estimated 150K people showed up for the festivities on New Year’s Even in Nashville Thursday night, those depending on a ride-share service like Uber or Lyft, woke up on Friday morning with more than a headache – bills for hundreds of dollars, for rides that lasted only a few minutes and went only a few miles. We’ve seen receipts for rides nearing $700 sent to us the past two days. New Year’s Eve in Nashville: The Rideshare Surge, $600+ Uber/Lyft rides? We asked our tipsters in the ride-share…
Rude Uber Nashville Driver Lisa Fields Stafford – Refuses to stop at Krystal’s for Rider!
One of the great concepts of Uber is that if you are leaving the bar, and you are hungry, you can can request an Uber, and have them stop at a fast food or drive-thru on the way to your home! In fact, Uber even encourages this (and why wouldn’t they, since it charges the customer more, and makes them more money!) and drivers get paid for the wait time, too. However on NYE night, Uber driver Lisa Fields Stafford decided to make her own Uber rules when the customer…
Nashville Lyft Driver Jarrod Romine Refuses ride to Rider with Service Animal
The law is very clear on one thing, if you have a service animal you cannot be refused service for any normal service that anyone else in the general public is provided – including Lyft & Uber rides. Every reasonable accommodation must be made, and this is federal law, called the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), for those that want to play dumb. So what if the Lyft (or Uber or even taxi) driver is “allergic” to dogs? The law still stipulates that every reasonable accommodation must be made. In…

Uber: Why Passenger Rating Matters – Are Drivers Refusing Your Ride? – Jonathan Russell
Just because they CAN, doesn’t mean they SHOULD. We’re talking about Uber & Lyft drivers cancelling or not accepting a ride request, just because a passenger has a ‘low rating’. Passenger Ratings should not have any effect on whether your ride request is accepted or cancelled, because as we’ve seen – there are any Uber Nashville and Lyft Nashville drivers in town that Give out 1-Star ratings for passengers just because they won’t buy the driver pizza, or want to go through a drive-thru, or don’t take a trip long…
Bob Benckert – Another Disgruntled Uber/Lyft 1-Star Giving Driver? Rude UberXpert?
We have to wonder what is with rude Uber & Lyft drivers this holiday season. We started off with the Rude Uber Driver reports a few weeks ago – starting with the Uber driver that gave passengers 1-Star ratings for random reasons, and for not tipping him or taking longer rides and increasing his profits, and then there was the Lyft Driver that dumped his passengers for not buying him pizza. Is there anyone sane left in the Nashville rideshare industry? Let’s look at our most recent idiot Uber Driver…
UPDATED (Oprah Responds!): Uber Driver James Cherry Suspended for “Handing out 1-Stars like Oprah”
UPDATED: James Victor Cherry responds, below:. Earlier today, we relayed the information we were given by a local Uber management partner, that the idiot driver who thought he was Oprah, had been suspended – And, of course, King James says he was not suspended at all, only ‘punished’. While we’re not sure what ‘punishment’ a 10-99 contractual arrangement (aka Uber) could enforce other than a suspension (maybe James is calling it a vacation?), we’ll simply let you decide who to believe. And James, here is our response to you! It…
Bad Nashville Lyft Driver Abandons Passengers because no one bought him Five Points Pizza!
[pullquote align=”left” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]”I’m just going to cancel this ride and you guys can get another Lyft. You guys didn’t even offer to buy me pizza and I think that is just so rude. So you can get out now.”[/pullquote] When it rains, it pours! And apparently when we get one ride-share tip, we get several. In fact, in the past 6 hours we’ve received over 15 submissions of ride-share maddness gone wrong. We have documented reports of everything from rude drivers, naked passengers, drivers who deliver…
