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.
