Download or read book Anthology of an Uber Driver S Experiences written by Burton Hochberg and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After driving for Uber for a short time, I realized that I had the fodder for another book. Unique stories were happening in my car every day. I did not start out with the thought of eventually writing or even publishing a book. All I did was to build files with anecdotal material. I called the files Uberisms. Upon conclusion of the first file, I printed copies of it and distributed it to my riders while continuing to write Uberism: Book2. I repeated the process I started, and upon conclusion of the second chapter, I printed copies of it to distribute to my riders. That became an expensive process. Since these files could be found on Facebook, I just chatted with my riders about Uberisms and told them how to access them on the computer. It was at that point that I gave consideration to publishing a book. At that point, the number of individual Uberisms reached five files, totaling about seventy-five thousand words, and it was time to publish my works, but I needed an all-encompassing title. That was the birth of Analogy of an Uber Drivers Experiences.

Download or read book Tales from the Back Seat written by David George and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales from the Back Seat is an inaEUR"depth study by an author who grew up on the island of Grenada, where opportunities were few and far apart, and his transformation to the American way of life once in the United States. It is a wellaEUR"thoughtaEUR"out nonfiction that would make you want to read it repeatedly. It is filled with moments of sadness and joy, as well as periods of disbelief and shame. As an Uber driver, the author gave a frightening colloquy of the risks and challenges of the job, as well as the mistrust and difficulties he faced daily with the city law enforcement, notably the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) and the New York City Police Department (NYPD). The author also took a critical look at the practices of Uber and how it has hurt his business and that of his fellow colleagues. Tales from the Back Seat makes good reading for everyone, but I expect the individuals between the age group of twenty to sixtyaEUR"five years of age to find it very interesting. They are the ones who most frequently use Uber and would be interested in knowing what their fellow riders are doing or saying. This book would change the readers' perception not only of New York City life but that of the drivers as well. Readers would be surprised to know that for many of us, driving is a means to an end. In short, the author took a noaEUR"holdsaEUR"barred approach in writing this manuscript. He hopes that its content would leave you with your mouths wide open, as though you are gasping for air. It is a pageaEUR"turner. However, you should make time to read and digest it. I would advise you not to read it while crossing the streets.

Download or read book Point a to Point B written by James MacFarlane and published by Life & Times. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the summer of 2016. The most expensive forest fire in US history raged in the remote tourist destination of Big Sur, California. The author, who is hyper-allergic to smoke, was forced to evacuate. Unable to wander far from home due to business interests, James Macfarlane fled from one Central California community to another, dodging fast breaking wildfires like raindrops. With a dwindling pocketbook and an aged car that died while in exodus, James had to come up with a plan. It took the form of a new car and an application to drive for the popular ride sharing service Uber. Over the next four months James gave over a thousand rides to fares ranging from the CEO of a billion dollar company, to a high-schooler who had missed the bus, to a baby-bag left in a restaurant by parents now a hundred miles away at the hotel (with a crying baby). Certified as an 'Uber Wine' driver, James also gave countless rides to fun seeking fares in California's fastest growing wine region. Out of the experience came a wealth of "Uber stories." This book is a collection of those stories. But it's more. The experience was part of a journey James was set on, with much humor and wisdom emerging during the odyssey. While driving, nearly every passenger wanted to hear an Uber story, and many in-turn provided one as the process called life unfolded adventure in after adventure and mishap after mishap, along with a number of heartwarming experiences. It is the eternal flow of stories, and people's interest in hearing of them, that sponsored "Uber James" to write this book.

Download or read book The Uber Driver written by Vincent Prize and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-07 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book The UBER Driver describes one man's experiences driving thousands of passengers from varying backgrounds through the streets, highways, and towns within the New York metro, using the rideshare platform, Uber. It tells a story of immense hazard, danger, discovery, and sometimes the excitement of interacting every day with the mobile public, from the happy drunks of Hoboken, the super-rich of Edgewater, and Manhattan to the infected and dying patients of the Coronavirus. This book occupies a unique position, as one of the few books that were written in real-time, when covid19 was raging and rampaging the world and especially the New York metro. It shall remain a source of enormous information for anyone seeking the chronicle of the pandemic from the eyes of someone who was on the frontline. Since a hundred years from now, humans will like to know how their ancestors lived and finally survived the worst pandemic in recent memory. The UBER Driver also presents a wealth of information to any user or prospective user of rideshare, either as a driver or passenger. This information should be useful as a guide for better interaction between the two parties, the driver and passenger. In the chapter, Rideshare vs. Taxi, the author gives a scholarly dissection between the two modes of personal transportation, which might be an immense resource for any meaningful researcher. In order to tell the story of the experiences of rideshare drivers, using an Uber driver as a case study, as it relates to a wide range of behavior, occasioned by diverse characters, the author quit his job, drove Uber for almost three years, gave rides to thousands of passengers in the process, then one day, sat down and wrote about it. Due to limitations to the size of the book, he could only tell the story of less than one percent of his many passengers. Because if one wants to write about how it feels to have malaria, he or she should visit the tropics, get exposed to the malaria parasite, get sick, recover from it, and write all about it. One does not sit in a café in the middle of Manhattan or Paris and imagine how it feels to have malaria and attempt to write about it.

You will be a passenger on every ride, discovering the hottest bars and restaurants and the secret after hour clubs in Fairfield County as we pick up riders and take them to wherever they want to go. Your life changes once you turn ON the UBER App. The show begins as soon as a rider opens the door to your cab. You never know what personality you will have to have until you greet your passenger. You may need to be a weatherman offering the latest forecast, or act as a political analyst. Some times you will have to be the rider's personal shrink and other times a comedian or a imaginative story teller. I now have acquired multiple personalities to match each rider's M.O. I must be pretty good at that. I get a five star rating on almost every ride plus I get crazy good tips by agreeing with everything they say. Confessions is an Illustrated collection of what happens in the back seat of my Uber cab. Read about the two chefs cooking in the back seat. Or, the very intoxicated woman who leaves her dog in my cab. But one of the funniest stories is about the man who was so big, the backdoor had to be removed to get him out. The UBER concept is amazing. It's so much fun to be a driver. I have included a list of tips and suggestions for both Drivers and Riders that are also very amusing. So buckle your seat belt and read on."
