Effective 5/18, drivers and riders will need to wear a mask in order to use Uber.
Lyft already requires rides and drivers to wear a mask.
Drivers will need to take a selfie with a mask to accept a ride and that picture will be sent to the rider.
Riders will need to confirm that they have washed their hands and are wearing a mask or face cover.
Additionally, riders must agree to sit in the back seat with the windows open. The maximum suggested passengers for UberX will change from 4 to 3.
Drivers and riders will be able to cancel without penalty if the other party isn’t wearing a mask.
The new policies will be place until at least 6/30.
I wonder if 4 riders show up what’s the chances the driver will not accept the trip
I wonder if they consider someone wearing a mask if they have their nose uncovered. I see so many people “wearing” them this way.
It says it needs to cover mouth and nose.
Worthless otherwise.
Seems like this can lead to people being able to cancel without penalty. Just claim that the driver wasn’t properly wearing a mask.
That might be tough to prove if the driver has dozens of successfully completed trips that day
What if you order uber for someone else who doesn’t have smartphone? Just take selfie of yourself? đ
Only the driver is taking selfies. But what if the driver has only a kosher phone??lol!
You canât be a driver or rider without using the app. Kosher phones= no Uber app.
Sounds like a disaster in the making for the already cash flow negative San Fran giant. This may look âgoodâ in the headlines but how exactly will this actually work/be enforced?
With front-facing dash camera live streaming to Uber headquarters…
When I go to the airport, having the windows open when the driver is cruising at 75MPH is brutal.
Good use for Bose headphones đ
Or I will use The Google Pixel buds with active noise canceling technology from this Glitch…
