It might seem convenient, but I would not get that excited about being able to schedule rides.
When you schedule a ride, my understanding is that the system just puts your ride request in to the real time queue at some point when it seems like that would be the best time to leave. It is not like if you schedule a ride on Monday morning at 6:00am to go to the airport, that you have a driver that knows they are scheduled to do that on Sunday night. The system is just going to put your request in the real time queue say at 5:45AM, and then you'll get the next available car. You could be subject to surge pricing or even a situation where there are no cars available, although this is no more likely to happen then when requesting a ride in real time. I just think the scheduling feature gives users a false sense of security and a belief that your ride is somehow guaranteed or assigned to a driver when I think in reality it is just automating entering your ride request in to the real time queue. I feel like by using the real time queue I have more control and a feel for what is going on such as etas for cars and the amount of surge pricing. But for those of you that love the scheduling feature, what am I missing? :) Best, Mika On 8/3/17, Scott Granados <scott.grana...@gmail.com> wrote: > Nope there are a few test markets.
