Payment/ride summary: July 18-24

Not a very busy week this week - well, except for the fact that I was too busy to post this earlier. So I guess busy, but not driving for Uber busy. :)

3.76 hours online, 8 trips, 4.9 stars total rating. 92% acceptance rate and 2 driver cancelations (because they keep sending me UberXL fares, dangit!). Those 4.9 stars brought me back down to 4.93 overall, so sad.

The most interesting thing I learned last week was that the PoolPass program that Uber is running in Boston (and possibly other cities, I'm too lazy to look it up. Internets are hard) does, in fact, still pay the driver regular fares, not the $0.01 fares that riders pay for their rides from the pass. I figured that had to be the case, but I had never had a rider I knew was using the pass until this week, when I took a pool rider from downtown out to Brookline. The fare (before toll - not sure how that works with the pass) was $12.06, netting me $10.29 (including the toll). The pool pass math definitely works out well if you use that trip as your basis, I've got to say. But you know my thoughts on UberPOOL.
