Can you imagine if someone tried to rob Brock? They would get steel pumped into them from his loaded 380.

Can you pick and choose who to pick up?

Brock, Have you ever declined a ride by looking at someones last name? Maybe don't pick someone up because of Stein, Schwartz, Blumberg, Hurwitz? Or by their first name, Leroy, Laquanda, Tamika etc? Just wondering if someones name detours you from picking someone up? Race, creed, ethnicity?

Only if it's far away and I didn't feel like going there or if it's a shit area.

a variety of reasons

Robbed? Of what exactly? Uber drivers don't carry cash. They get paid via the app.

**JIBBBY** · 08-15-22, 04:32 PM

Taxi services are cheaper now here in LA then Uber. People don't even know that.

Same here, I've taken cab rides on the meter for $7 that are $11 on uber. Uber is much more expensive, plus I trust the licensing and insurance of a legit cab company far more than some rando with a Prius and the uber app.

That's what I found out as well when I took a cab last month.. It's almost half cheaper then Uber. Taking a taxi cab from where I live in Santa Monica to LAX is way cheaper then UBER. It's just a fact!

**pavyracer** · 08-15-22, 05:14 PM

I use the bus or train if it goes though my route. It's cheaper than uber or taxi.

**kyhawk** · 08-15-22, 05:16 PM

Robbed twice as a cabbie in the 80's. By knife.

Once in a bar pick up near Nellis AFB. The guy was waiting for me outside the bar. Major redflag as you have to go in the the bar and wait.

The other guy robbed me in a casino near downtown as I went into pee. He saw me go in and followed me. Gave me a beating. Luckily not with his knife hand. I should have peed in my usual spot the Nugget.

I worked the hood in NLV my first few months. Never had a problem. Those gangbangers I picked up always had a bankroll in their pocket enough to choke a horse.

Both guys were caught within days and got about 40 from me.

**SBR_Guest_Pro** · 08-15-22, 06:16 PM

sounds like its too dangerous to drive for either lyft or uber. I'll just rely on losing sports bets as income

wow. those are 2 crazy stories.

**JIBBBY** · 08-15-22, 08:44 PM

Gotta be crazy to work a corner liquor store or drive a Uber and or Cab these days without a bullet proof divider in between installed.

Cash target!

But no money is exchanged. Why would someone think it’s profitable to rob a Uber/Lyft driver?

**pologq** · 08-16-22, 09:20 AM

exactly. unless you happen to know the uber driver has his own cash it makes no sense.
