  • Uber will start deactivating riders with low ratings

    Uber will start deactivating riders with low ratings

    Uber announced that it will be
    deactivating those riders that are constantly receiving bad reviews from the
    drivers and consequently have received an overall below average rating.

    Riders may lose access to Uber if
    they develop a significantly below average rating. Initially, the company will
    notify the rider when its rating starts to dip. The company will send tips on
    how to get their rating back-up such as speaking politely to the driver, not
    asking the driver to speed up or not leaving the trash in the car.

    Drivers with the help of the feature would choose from a list of reasons such as

    Wait time

    Patience

    Number of riders

    Attitude

     Wanted new route or any other.

     If a rider got the same “tag” twice within a span of 30 days, a notification would appear when they open the Uber app to let them know that their behavior is affecting their rating.

    According to Uber’s head of safety
    brand and initiatives, Kate Parker:

    “Respect is a two-way street, and so
    is accountability. Drivers have long been expected to meet a minimum rating
    threshold. While we expect only a small number of riders to ultimately be
    impacted by ratings-based deactivations, it’s the right thing to do.”

    Uber has always emphasized both the
    riders and drivers to follow its community guidelines. With the new change now
    set to take place, things will even out for both of the sides and will
    encourage everyone to behave in the right manner.
