Passenger Experience
Respond Professionally
Conversations should be pleasant and remain professional, so avoid having discussions of a personal nature – i.e. don’t share frustrations
● Acknowledge traffic delays, but assure the customer that you will do your best to get them to their destination.
● Share route information such as another drop-off or pickup.
● Share with them GPS information, especially when an alternative route is taken and may not be familiar to the customer.
● If a customer’s request is unreasonable and not within policy, tell them you need to get approval from your dispatcher before you can proceed.
Passenger Experience
Care & Courtesy

● Following posted speed limits.
● Staying off your phone - no exceptions.
● Being aware of potholes and other road conditions that may cause discomfort to the passenger of your vehicle.
● Not engaging in or responding to aggressive driving.

4. Avoid complaints and negative feedback from passengers.
5. Refrain from converting eHail trips to street hail.
6. Continue to maintain an acceptance rate above 10%.
