Uber's drivers rate passengers too

Not only do passengers on Uber rate their drivers but it can be the other way round too. Passengers who consistently get poor ratings from their drivers may be banned from travelling with Uber.
I've consistently get a rating of 5 from the drivers which is considered as excellent.
To be rated as 5, one has to be respectful of his or her driver. One must also be at the correct point of pick-up besides other things like gently closing the door when disembarking etc.
My philosophy is to be nice and courteous to our fellow beings, especially the Uber drivers who are driving hours to put food on the table for their families. I am truly glad that I have so far been rated as an "excellent" passenger. 

Uber/Grab is the way to go

                                                     

                                                         
Today, I went to Changi Hospital for my post eye operation examination. I took a bus and then a train to Simei where I caught a shuttle bus to the hospital. It took me a total of 1 hour 10 mins for the journey. The total fare was about $1.10 which was cheap due to the senior citizen discount. However, the 40 minute bus ride was not so enjoyable (don't want to go into details as some people may not like what I've to say).
On the return journey, I ordered Uberpool (sharing) and the fare was $12 which was inexpensive as compared to what I've to pay for the ride on the regular taxi. The driver did a small diversion so my fellow passenger could disembark at his condo. He probably paid about the same amount. The journey took only 30 minutes in the comfort of a brand new Toyota Prius. I chatted with the driver and found him to be a pleasant fellow. I also learned many interesting things about this new concept of cab sharing.
Today was my fifth time taking Uber. I've not try taking Grab.
Frankly, I am for this relatively new ride sharing concept. It has solved our transportation problem. Pre-ride sharing, I used to wait for as long as 1 hour just to get a taxi. Most of the time especially in the morning or around 4pm on  weekdays, taxis would refused to pick passengers.
Now with Uber and Grab, we do not face this problem anymore. We can get our cab sharing rides in less than 5 minutes.
Just for information, there are now 42,000 Uber and Grab cabs and that is double the 20,000 regular taxis in Singapore.
