I thought Uber drivers had to accept each trip manually? If the trip is bad why would they accept it in the first place?

I thought that was the whole idea behind Uber, no more taxi scams. Might as well just call a Yellow cab, if drivers are going to pull this kind of thing.

You can vote out bad Uber drivers. Can't do that with bad taxi drivers

Doesn't Uber allow drivers to rate passengers as well? Couldn't drivers give low ratings to bad tippers?

You get banned from Uber if you do that, no?

Uber fires drivers with low ratings, so you do, just not directly.

Is there something akin to a city's uber manager that all drivers have to report to for the sake of noticing if someone should _not_ be driving for uber?
