[NABS-L] Question about Uber for the people who use Uber

[Sidney Horn]

Hey all,
I have a question because I know most, if not all of you in here use Uber
or have used it. I'm just getting started with it. I actually had an O&M
lesson yesterday on it. However, when using it, I used it in a relatively
small town.
When going to order the Uber, it said that the driver was 15 minutes away.
Okay... So that's no problem. So when waiting for the driver details, you
know how it shows the percentage for the driver details page as it's
loading? Well, it kept loading and loading, and I sat at 94% for several
minutes.
Has this happened to anyone? If you're in a smaller town, and the app says
that there's a driver about 15 minutes ahead, is it better to either
schedule the Uber ahead of time? Or click on the "Where to" button on the
home page of the Uber app, which would then schedule a ride right then and
there? What's better for a smaller town instead of like a big big city?
Just curious! Also, has anyone ever used Uber to go like out of town
somewhere? Like somewhere 20 minutes away? I know the further you go, or
the longer you travel with them, the pricier it gets. But I'm still
curious.
Thanks so much!!
Sidney
