U have to call the pax before you qualify for the no show fee. It only has to “ring” once. They don’t have to answer.

Why not teach the newbies the common criteria as to what is a “profitable ride”. Anything less than .75 per mile (including miles to get to pick up) OR calculate the pay into an hourly rate. Example ride is paying $7 and the total time from driving to pick up and then to the destination is 15 min. Since 15 min = 1/4 of an hour, that $7 offer equals $28/hour. Anything less than $20/hour is garbage (unless you have a quest bonus pay that will add $3 per ride if completed)

I was told i had to wait 2+5=7 minutes total.

Some rides are only 1 - 3 miles total. 7 minutes is like an eternity. The riders have learned this and some come out JUST BEFORE the 7 minutes.

5 min for wait time. If you have to wait for 10 riders during one shift, that's 1h lost. Interesting!
