    This is too bad, wish you the best. I already had a thought these apps are effectively decreasing safely of the cities for the profit, but haven’t experienced it myself…

      If it had be a local pizza place instead it would have been better? Safer?

      The problem here is a bad driver, not their employer / contracting app.

        Well yes, pizza delivery guys are pushed into the reckless driving too - some of the most absurd crashes I’ve seen involved them - however there is a big difference in the immediacy of the pushing. There’s a difference between your boss yelling at you to be faster once per day or a week and the app constantly pushing you with realtime feedback and ever changing incentives.

          I am an Uber driver and I do not feel forced into reckless driving.

          Yes I expect all the “shill” comments and the downvotes. I will continue to tell the truth despite it going against the “free market evil” narrative.

            Uber “people” or uber eats? Is there a difference in driver experience between the two?

              Uber rideshare is what I do.

              I’ve done Instacart and there were definitely time quotas. Same for doordash.

              Both of those are extremely stressful jobs because of being on tight time deadlines that are not under one’s own control.
