Uber Driver Kicks Out 1 Star Passenger!

Incident Details

In an unsettling turn of events, a dispute erupted between an Uber driver and a passenger, capturing attention due to the controversial nature of the interaction. The passenger, a female, expressed urgent need to reach UCLA. However, the situation quickly escalated.

The passenger pleaded, "I’m sorry, I can't do this. I’m just going to let you out here. You can just let me off, you can go to, there's a gas station around the corner."

To which the driver responded, "No, you can't just let me, I'm a female. You can't just leave me right here."

The driver then asked, “You’re a female? Are you also a feminist?”

The passenger tried to clarify, "Not necessarily, but what I'm saying is that it's dangerous to leave me on the side of the road. You can't leave me here."

Feeling threatened, the driver said, "Well I feel in danger of you being in my car right now."

Despite the passenger's refusal to get out, assuring that she has paid for the ride and insists, "You have to keep driving. I need to be there really soon," the driver stood firm. "No, I don't. I am an independent contractor. I'm not an employee for this ride. I can do whatever I want, you can cancel and try to get a refund, but I’m not driving you there."

The passenger threatened, "You're going to lose your job because I’m going to let Uber know that you're dropping me off in a neighborhood that I don’t even know really well."

The driver concluded the exchange with a practical alternative, "There’s a gas station on the corner. You can go sit there and order a new ride."
