I politely and respectfully ask for quiet time and none of my drivers have been visibly offended. When all else fails, i say I have to listen to a work seminar and put my earphones in. You owe people respect, but you don’t owe them the time and energy for an unsolicited social interaction.

I agree with Deloitte 1. I used to take 4 am cabs for months on a project and sometimes uber drivers would not want to stop chatting at that hour. I would just play w my phone and say I have to prep for a meeting and plug in my earphones. Always worked.
