Uber explains how you can lose access to its service

Contacting the driver unnecessarily after the ride is over is a violation of the guidelines. These love-seekers argued that “there’s something quite romantic about two people sitting in the backseat of a auto”, and some developed habits of asking women co-passengers “Where are you headed?” However, Uber tries to make the best of it and is pushing on, and this time around, it has updated its community guidelines, so that riders and drivers alike will have a more pleasant ride and drive respectively. Uber ensures that its drivers stick to a set of rules defined by it in order to make the ride a pleasant experience for the passenger.

Fox says he is a pretty tolerant driver and understands that everyone has their “off” days, so he rarely gyps riders of a 5-star rating.

Respect each other – from the courtesy of not shouting, slamming the vehicle door, or swearing, to tidying up and respecting differences and respecting each other’s personal space. Another rule says no fighting or getting sick inside the vehicle. Ever receive a call from a confused driver trying to find you?

And apparently, this includes asking overly personal questions to the driver.

Respecting both other riders and drives as you’d like to be respected yourself is one, for instance, as is giving other people a reasonable amount of personal space. But now, there’s a lot more transparency to exactly what kind of behavior will run afoul of Uber’s patience.

The guidelines rule out commenting on someone’s appearance or asking ‘whether they are single’. No sex with the hot guy flirting with you in your UberPOOL.

Sex obviously also goes without saying, but it’s somewhat humorous that Uber even takes the time to mention “flirting with others” as being a ban-worthy offense.

Uber reminds riders to be on time, be at the designated pick-up location, buckle up and don’t leave trash in the auto. That means no sex or sexual conduct in the vehicle.

Breaking the local law while using Uber.

They are also not allowed to bring open drinks into the cars. Drivers are given a fair warning for temporary deactivation.

But unlike Tinder, Uber has a specific code of conduct which they expect their riders to obey. Apart from lines like “Please leave your guns at home“, most of this could have been cribbed from any Boy Scouts manual from the last hundred years.

While these guidelines are basic, Uber’s decision to formally publish them will hopefully help the company achieve its desired outcome.
