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
Care and courtesy is also required during the operation of your vehicle. This includes:
● Avoiding sudden stops/starts, sharp turns and abrupt lane changes.
● 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.
