🚘👍👎 The ride-sharing company just unveiled a way to check out how many glowing five-star reviews – or regrettable one-star ratings – you’ve received. The company said the move is meant to encourage people to be more thoughtful about their interactions with drivers.
- Uber’s system tracks the 500 most recent rides, averaging the scores to produce a final rating.
- On the whole, US riders receive an average of 4.89 stars out of 5. Uber said drivers consistently cited car door slams as the reason for deducting stars from passengers.
- A detailed breakdown is available on the latest version of Uber’s app in the new Privacy Center, which can be accessed through the settings menu under the user profile in the top right. (Just tap ‘privacy’ → ‘Privacy Center’; here’s a GIF to walk you through it after that.)
🇺🇸 Zoom out: The company also shared which cities had the best and worst riders.
