Anyone ever take a short fare taxi from lax? I live in Manhattan beach and every time I come back from a trip I feel like that taxi driver is going to murder me. Uber drivers refuse my fare.

For uber, don't put your location in until you get in the car. If they call you and ask where you're going, say Dtla and then when you get in the car, say MB instead

D1 taxi drivers can't but they hate you. Uber drivers definitely can. They call, ask where you're going, and then cancel the ride

I'm in the same situation...moved to a place that's only 10-15 mins from airport. Uber drivers would cancel on me, lie and say their car broke down, or would just not move and wait for me to cancel

They can't refuse your fares

P1 that doesn't sound like the solution to my problem. I'd like to have someone drive me who doesn't want to murder me

You could always tip them

D1 I do tip the taxi drivers...doesn't make the ride any less shitty. And you can't exactly tip the uber driver who turned down your fare...

I had a similar problem at BWI as I was only 15 minutes away and not in the city. For whatever reason Lyft was way better about it. Not sure if LAX would be different.

What's your uber rating?

Get the name of the Uber drivers that call & cancel and report them.

Yeah I hate that shit going to Venice

Today I learned a new thing. One candidate was referred by a colleague of mine in the system. He got selected and offer letter rolled out.

When he checked the system he realized the referral was not taken and the background system captured it as direct hire.

So my friend is not going to get any referral incentive.

Wondering if anyone else faced the same issue?
