Reporting by: Las Vegas Travel Reporter. For a few months, I tested Uber and Lyft as as a Driver. The experience was great. Very informative. I met a lot of great persons, wonderful Americans, and International travelers. The one thing I learned is that the majority of all Americans are truly wonderful persons regardless of race and gender. I also learned that the world is full of honest, kind, considerate, and caring persons all over the globe.
As a former Lyft/Uber Driver, I felt the need to create something unique for the Las Vegas Travel channel that allows Lyft/Uber drivers and Lyft/Uber riders to share information. I therefore created the Nevada Rideshare Network. The Nevada Rideshare Network allows travelers, residents, and visitors to Las Vegas, Southern Nevada, and Northern Nevada, to report upon their Lyft, Uber, and Taxi experiences. At the same time, we welcome Uber, Lyft, and Taxi drivers to report and share information about rude, obnoxious, racist, belligerent and threatening passengers.
Which Uber/Lyft/Taxi passengers tip the least, and which Uber/Lyft/Taxi passengers typically tip the most? Which type of female or male passengers are routinely asked to leave the vehicle? Believe it or not, school data typically mimics the behavior of Uber/Lyft passengers.
Relatively young Uber/Lyft passengers that were unruly, rude, threatening in school, also typically repeat that behavior in the Nevada Rideshare Network. I share my stories on the Nevada Rideshare Network.
Lyft driver Anthony Vicari, 40, of Chicago, Illinois, was arrested and charged with battery in December of 2018 for sexually assaulting a 17-year-old passenger, police said.
Vicari was called to pick up the 17-year-old girl from her friend’s house in Worth. He immediately started discussing the size of the girl's beeast, her body shape, and how her rear-end looked. Lyft Driver Anthony Vicari allegedly made repeated sexual advances towards the young girl — such as rubbing her thigh and leg — and asking her sexual-related questions that had nothing to do with being a Lyft Driver. Police also claim this Chicago-based pervert asked her to go to a motel with him.
In London, England, Uber Driver Muhammad Khurram Durrani was coconvicted in May of 2018 of raping a 27-year-old woman at her home address in July 2016. The disgraced Uber Driver terrorist sentenced to 12 years in prison for rape and eight years for sexual assault. The jail terms will run concurrently.
Lyft Driver Octavio Alvarez Gomez was accused by the Los Angeles Police Department of sexually assaulted a blonde-haired passenger he picked up from a pub. The woman used the Lyft App to take her to her home in Van Nuys. Before she got out of the car, Lyft Driver Octavio Alvarez Gomez apparently could not control his barbaric emotions, and proceeded to force the blonde-woman to submit to his animal instincts, claims the Los Angeles Police Department.
Police are asking the public’s help in finding additional possible victims of Lyft Driver Octavio Alvarez Gomez. Anyone with information is asked to call investigators at (818) 374-9500.
Hispanic Uber Driver John David Sanchez, 54, was sentenced to 80 years in prison for the rape and assault of multiple women, and children. When police searched his computer, they found videos of Sanchez raping women and abusing young teenagers, dating back at least five years. In November, Sanchez
Lyft Terminates the Best Drivers and Keeps Rapists and Emotionally Unstable Drivers. The Lyft Riding platform has unsafe features when it comes to Rating drivers. As a former Lyft Driver, I can confidently report my personal opinions. The best Lyft Drivers typically bear the brunt of rude passengers who give them unfair ratings based upon falsehoods. Sometimes racism, self-hatred, and petty jealousy takes root. Read more in the Nevada Rideshare Network.
If a passenger arrives at their destination safely, incurred no injuries, was not assaulted and no police report was filed, then the driver should automatically receive a 5 stars.
Some Lyft and Uber passengers are simply racist, jealous, or unhappy with their lives, and will give a low-rating to the guy they feel took their girl-friend or wife, or who owns a house while they are lving with their parents. Preppy San Francisco and East Coast white boys, and dark-skinned African-American women from the West Coast seem to have the most common hang-ups.
Neither the Uber or Lyft App addresses the issues of self-hatred. As drivers, we cannot make handsome Black guys like dark-skinned African American women or obese women. We assume you are with yor current boyfriend by choice, and not because he is your last option.
As Lyft/Uber Drivers, we cannot cure your financial dependency on your parents for room and board. If your Lyft/Uber driver owns a house, and you still rent. Tough luck! Try harder!
The Uber/Lyft Drivers that receive popular ratings are guys like Anthony Vicari. He has no prior convictions, but he has past sex-related arrests. He should have never been a Lyft Driver.
Nevada Rideshare Network evens playing field. Drivers and passengers can report their actual experiences and not be filtered or limited by Uber/Lyft or Taxi companies.
