This zen feature is actually good.. Like you can politely tell the driver that you are in no mood to listen to his stories and rants about other customers without sounding rude. Btw great video
Zen mode sounds cool, Josh. I'll bet there are drivers that wish they had that option too. Like, "Hey client, I just don't feel like talking right now, so could you just keep your pie-hole shut while you're in my car?!?!"
I heard Lyft was more wheelchair friendly, so I went with that. During the time I used it, I never had a driver complain or drive off, so that was good. While I don't have personal experience with Uber, I did come across some wheelies complaining that drivers cancelled their rides.
I'm always pro-lyft anti-uber, entirely because of the difference in how the companies handle creeps. if you've left something in the car (like your phone or laptop) and the driver refuses to bring it back to you (or drove off the second you stepped out of the car without the chance to grab your things), if your driver sexually harasses or full on assaults you, or pulls the 'I'm totally gonna take you where you wanna go until I suddenly take a wrong turn and stop listening to you only to pull down a dark empty road' type shit, all of which I've heard stories about actually happening multiple times, you *have* to involve social media and publicly shame them because otherwise they entirely ignore you, as do the police half the time. and though they claim to background check their drivers, they still end up with a TON of creeps that they do nothing about. and in fact, the level of attention you'll get from them entirely depends on how much attention your social media (though let's be honest, it's mostly twitter) post gets. I've also seen people who posted, got a reply saying they'd look into it, only for that to be their only contact and once again nothing was done, only publicly mentioning it to save face and pretend they're taking care of it. I'm pretty sure they also don't have a female drivers only option so you can't even avoid the creeps. lyft on the other hand does actually take care of you on the back end without you having to resort to public shaming to get corporate's attention, and has features like female only drivers to help female riders feel safer riding alone, AND on top of that, the DRIVERS can also choose female only riders to protect THEM from creepy riders, something uber also doesn't allow, or at least didn't last time I checked. as a petite woman I feel much safer using and supporting lyft than I ever did uber.
Taxis (here in Australia) have pretty strict safety precautions. Cameras inside and out, licences have to be displayed etc. I wouldn't get in anything but a proper taxi
Deborah Flynn me either. I’m an kid from the 80s and still remember stranger danger. I’m not going to call a stranger to my home and get in the car with him/her. I don’t drive either due to my health so I depend on my teens and husband to get me around.
I just checked and my Uber rating is 4.94. Why? I dunno. I use both services, depending on my mood. I've had both good and bad rides with the two of them.
Great jokes. I’m what I call painfully shy. I get panic just paying for stuff at the store. But I am polite and respectful. I don’t like small talk either it’s just awkward but then again I’m polite so I do it. Simple small talk can lift someone’s spirits if they are having a bad day. Same with a smile. People really need to learn to reconnect with others in today’s world. That’s why so many lack compassion and empathy for others. We are too self absorbed.
I have a strong preference for Lyft, my experience has been better and drivers I have had say they prefer Lyft. But I had never heard of Zen mode before watching this video!
I’d go to just see you haha Your jokes are great! Always fun when people can see the fun in ones own situation and make something fun out of it! I love that 👌🏻
I have a rating of 4.93, I think it’s because I got in an argument with a driver once. He was taking an extremely long route and getting very lost. I suggested another way but he said no. I had to call my boss to say I would be late and the driver FREAKED OUT! He ranted at me for the rest of the ride about how it was my fault for being late etc. Pretty sure he rated me 1 star. I contacted support but they just gave me $5 and said it was fine haha.
I was in a Lyft and the guy was picking at straws to start a conversation and I am a socially awkward bean so it wasn’t going to happen. Also he left the windows down the whole car ride and I didn’t want to say anything so I froze on my way there.
I had an Uber driver rate me down because I didn't know the directions to my destination. In Nashville. Where I do not live. After they picked me up from a hotel. *facepalm*
I got off this video to check mine. Mines a 5.0 I don't mind having conversations with the divers. If they seem more quiet then if will fallow their example. I always ask where they prefer me to sit. I don't mind sitting up front or in the back.
This is completely unrelated, but my philosophy professor looks extremely similar and sounds exactly the same as you! Your sense of humor is the same as well. It’s cool but also very weird haha
I do not have an Uber rating because I cannot use Uber. Cars + Me = epic badness. My medical condition causes unfathomable amounts of pain when I'm in a car. Such pain will leave me bedridden for at least a week, so I don't use cars, nor do I use Uber. Still, it's interesting. Zen mode *does* make sence, though, as an extrovert, I wouldn't mind talking to the driver. I find such things fascinating...
I'm a 4.6 and I don't understand!!! I am always polite, I make sure not to leave garbage, I reply to questions politely and with a cheery attitude but do not start conversations so as to not disturbs the driver, I am very nice when they fuck up, in short, I have anxiety and I am getting no rewards for it!
Lyft is generally cheaper in Utah. Also, many, MANY people double dip. Got picked up by my Uncle once. He gave me my only rating, 5-stars. Then I stopped using Uber for Lyft. So I have a 5 star rating for now and always.
I haven't used Uber in a couple of years, but my rating is 4.67. Yikes. I wonder what I did wrong. It really stressed me out that I can't see my Lyft rating. I just want to know. I just moved to a new city with less public transit than my old one, so I've gone from using Lyft a couple times a month to a couple times a day. Just knowing that I'm being rated and judged that often is actually the worst.
Wait Why do the drivers rate the passenger? Because If they rated someone 3 would that mean Nobody would want to pick them up? I think rating the driver is better :/ Also I’d wear a tie and spend about 8 hours to get up-marked by .1
Guys don't feel bad. After giving 2800 drives as a driver, I have a 4.84 as well. Can't tell you what I did wrong either. Maybe they don't like my hair either. It increases with time, or at least I've been told. My one star ratings never seem to go away and I have 12 of them. Overall, I have 463 5 stars out of 500 ratings. I'd rather focus on those passengers and worry less about the haters since I have no clue what I do wrong to them anyways. The rides keep coming in too, plus my tipping passengers. If a passenger cancels on me because of my 4.84 someone else will request a ride from me. Thanks. P.S. I'd pick you up with a 4.84 because who knows what people rate you down for. Life's too short to worry about that. Can't please everyone I suppose. Wish I could but I can't. Funny how I have a 4.94 on lyft as a driver. Don't know what the deal is with Uber. but oh well.
Interesting. I wouldn't think 4.8 is that bad, then, actually. I mean, that's 96%--still an A. I guess it means you've gotten marked down from perfect for something, but I would think that maybe some people just give 4/5 as like a standard, normal rating and then 5/5 would be above and beyond, like if the passenger was super friendly or gave a huge tip or something. I dunno. . Not to diminish the comedy, of course; it just surprised me that he would think 96% is a 'bad' rating. . I've never used either of these, so I really don't know.
I have somehow maintained a 5.0 Uber rating.
I just sit quietly and stare out the window...
5.0?? That's amazing.
He only gave that one ride!
I had an uber driver play old school scooby doo as he was taking me home best uber driver ever
This zen feature is actually good.. Like you can politely tell the driver that you are in no mood to listen to his stories and rants about other customers without sounding rude.
Btw great video
As I said, I do like the idea. I also just think it's...very funny.
@@JoshSundquist It is really funny..
I would use the "Careful now, I need to RANT" mode if they'd let me. I'm rarely quiet on ride shares.
Zen mode sounds cool, Josh. I'll bet there are drivers that wish they had that option too. Like, "Hey client, I just don't feel like talking right now, so could you just keep your pie-hole shut while you're in my car?!?!"

MilkyyCreamii and with this couldn’t a creep ask for only women riders?
Wait there’s female only driver features?? I’ve been using Lyft for over a year and I didn’t know this????
MilkyyCreamii I never stated that.
Taxis (here in Australia) have pretty strict safety precautions. Cameras inside and out, licences have to be displayed etc. I wouldn't get in anything but a proper taxi
I'm terrified of taxis. Get horrible anxiety from them even though the few I have taken have been fine. So,no Uber or Lyft for me 🤣
Deborah Flynn me either. I’m an kid from the 80s and still remember stranger danger. I’m not going to call a stranger to my home and get in the car with him/her. I don’t drive either due to my health so I depend on my teens and husband to get me around.
“Most millennial”
*People with social anxiety disorder laugh*
I have S.A.D and it makes me sad lol
My zen button is my headphones. Works everywhere.lol
I just checked and my Uber rating is 4.94. Why? I dunno.
I use both services, depending on my mood. I've had both good and bad rides with the two of them.
Wow, 4.94. You are crushing me.
I have a 4.7! What kind of bullcrap is that?! That's why I switched to Lyft.
I’m 5.0 on both I’ve never taken a ride
4.95 as a driver on both platforms
Great jokes. I’m what I call painfully shy. I get panic just paying for stuff at the store. But I am polite and respectful.

Zen mode sounds great! But I’m actually still in the No Uber mode 💁🏽♀️
4.86 but I live a ways out and I am in a wheelchair. Although I can manage it all many drivers seem annoyed.
I’d go to just see you haha
Your jokes are great!
Always fun when people can see the fun in ones own situation and make something fun out of it! I love that 👌🏻
mine is 4.97 and it's so baffling every time I see it
I have a perfect rating on Uber and I suspect it is because I tip well and try to be polite.
I needed the laugh. Thanks
I have a rating of 4.93, I think it’s because I got in an argument with a driver once. He was taking an extremely long route and getting very lost. I suggested another way but he said no.

Working class nightmare, packaged as a dream.
i have a 5.00 but ive only used uber like four times
They don't know your greatness
I was in a Lyft and the guy was picking at straws to start a conversation and I am a socially awkward bean so it wasn’t going to happen. Also he left the windows down the whole car ride and I didn’t want to say anything so I froze on my way there.
If someone ranked me low it’s all I’d think about it would make me sad
I had an Uber driver rate me down because I didn't know the directions to my destination. In Nashville. Where I do not live. After they picked me up from a hotel. *facepalm*
Tip: You don’t have to take a $5 fee as long as you report a problem with the phone/app
I got off this video to check mine. Mines a 5.0
I don't mind having conversations with the divers. If they seem more quiet then if will fallow their example. I always ask where they prefer me to sit. I don't mind sitting up front or in the back.
I have a perfect 5.0 rating, don't know why though 😂
This was uploaded on my birthday!

I did forget though! 🙈

4.98. I just sort of...sit there...quietly.
Mine’s a 4.92 somehow. I’m usually p polite & quiet as well, but I also end up on my phone a fair amount in attempt to avoid conversation lmao
Imagine dates using zen mode

I don't trust those kinds of companies. They play the wrong music, if any music, every time
I checked and I'm also 4.84- where did I loose marks?!
They rate low when you don't tip.
I love u lol ur the best
I do not have an Uber rating. I have never taken a carshare of any kind.
this literally sounds like the one black mirror episode holy
Mine is 4.95. I talk a lot a lot and I always ask about them and their life and how’s everything so far
Amazing
🙏
Man, what a button. XD
Never been in an Uber or Lyft. Only been in a Taxi once in Chicago. I was 10. That was 22 years ago.
I just prefer Lyft bc they're not racist, sexist, or homophobic. And they're always giving me 10% off
Wait
Why do the drivers rate the passenger?
Because
If they rated someone 3 would that mean
Nobody would want to pick them up?
I think rating the driver is better :/
Also I’d wear a tie and spend about 8 hours to get up-marked by .1
Dude I'm a 4.84 as well!
Whats wrong with us
@@JoshSundquist I mean I thought it was pretty good til I saw this video

Wait, is that 4.8/10 or 4.8/5? Because I feel like 4.8/5 is really good, but 4.8/10 is really bad...
It's out of 5 I think
Interesting. I wouldn't think 4.8 is that bad, then, actually. I mean, that's 96%--still an A. I guess it means you've gotten marked down from perfect for something, but I would think that maybe some people just give 4/5 as like a standard, normal rating and then 5/5 would be above and beyond, like if the passenger was super friendly or gave a huge tip or something.

Not to diminish the comedy, of course; it just surprised me that he would think 96% is a 'bad' rating.

I've never used either of these, so I really don't know.
Not to be offensive or anything, but Josh is almost like IRL South Park Jimmy.. cause he was a stand-up comedian..
Okay I’ll leave now bye.
