By abhishek maurya
Uber fare calculation wasn't a quantum calculation but it was tough for some, so uber just plans to phase out this difficulty and get rid of surge pricing calculation and mental math issues with some.

Uber fares are very dynamic in nature, means their prices may go up anytime as demand surges, or you get stuck in traffic, in all the cases or none you have to mentally calculate the trip fare to get an idea.

Cellular companies have the "family plan," and now Uber has "family profiles," in which one person can pay for rides for up 10 family members, friends, or coworkers. The company announced Wednesday that it would be testing the new payment system in Atlanta, Dallas, and Phoenix. The idea came from feedback from riders who wanted a way to consolidate trip payments under one account, Uber says.

How to avoid Bad Uber Driver in Future

By abhishek maurya
Be it a bad day or bad person, I meet bad drivers on some days. I just want to avoid those drivers on future means when I book Uber must not connect me to those drivers who are bad to me.

I feel a driver is bad if he talks too much on mobile, takes too much to locate me, ask for directions but don't know the place I explain or any common place, don't take my preferred route because I want to pick/drop someone on the way.

Where is Uber currently available around the world?

By abhishek maurya
Uber is available in 67 countries as of today and they are adding more cities each week.
Here is the list of Indian cities where Uber operates.
Travelers may have wondered sometime if Uber operates where you are going or not. Uber is great for travel to unknown city. You can always use your account to book a cab anywhere in the world where uber operates. Certainly you have to pay in local currency but still its better option. Your driver will know shortest route to your destination. They will make accurate pickup coz they already know your location, no need to explain them, because you may not know surrounding. 
Its always better to have an international credit card while traveling to another country, it makes payments very easy. Some credit cards waive of currency conversion charges as well, even some companies issue travel specific credit card.

Teleport: Get your friends delivered via Uber ride which is already paid without Uber app

By abhishek maurya
Wanna hangout with friends or call a family member to some location you are hanging out? You are not in mood to explain the address and clearly not in mood to book a ride and have conversation with Uber driver to annoy them.

Here's how it works.

You select which friend you want to send an Uber to and the app sends them a request. When your friend accepts the request, their phone sends the app a location pin, which Teleport uses to send them an Uber. The app then gives them the identifying and arrival information, even if they don't have Uber or Teleport installed on their phone (it works through a web app).

What is standard ride request process for a friend?

Now, sending someone else an Uber is possible with the standard Uber app, but it's not a smooth process. Teleport's developers describe the hassle pretty well, which requires you to:

Find out where your friend is (which involves waiting for them to respond to your text, which, if you've got flaky friends like we…

By abhishek maurya
Uber haven't used any of the tactics in India officially, except Drivers in Delhi protested against ban in NCR region.  Uber is not shy about marshaling those constituencies to lobby public officials who have threatened moves that would hurt Uber's business.

Uber is building its biggest facility in Hyderabad with the help of Telangana Govt outside US. Uber gets Delhi HC relief in capital region. Uber keeps expanding all over the world each week. Still there are many events when it faced ban, hate and challenging time in several parts of the world. Here's a rundown of the digital protest campaigns Uber has set in motion:

Uber wins a war in New York against System with Peoples help

By abhishek maurya
People has tremendous power and some are using it after getting elected by them. Recently we have few events where people have shown their strengths via internet and changed the course of action.

Net Neutrality
Some teclos(like Airtel) and big brands(Like Flipkart) tried to curb same speed internet in India on purpose. Its all over the internet for some time. Some good people came against it and asked for help from common people to stop the preference for some services over internet usage.
People needed to send a pre drafted mail to TRAI and telecom ministry to act against it. Enormous amount of people replied and govt has to take action and review the current offering by teclos.

Change.org is such a place where you can create such campaign and ask for help from common people, if sufficient number of people replied in favor then you will make it happen.

Stop Parliament canteen subsidy: This campaign is about to stop the parliament canteen subsidy. Prime minister will take action if 150k…

12 Most wanted Uber features Riders are waiting worldwide

By abhishek maurya
This is a compilation post from Quora and other sources for most wanted Uber features. I hope you like these features as well, I f I missed some of the features please comment to to let me know.

Real time fare during ride
Some times I use free ride to go somewhere and it have some limited credit in it,  show me the current fare in real time during a ride so I can end one trip within budget and start another if needed. Its sheer optimization of free ride you get after referral.

Don't ask for location service always (I know where I am, most of the time.)
Do not intentionally break the app when location services are turned  off. I keep location turned off by default, and usually know where I am.  I can find it on a map faster than turning on location and waiting for  it to initialize (and this may not even work well underground or in a  moving train, or worse, a moving train underground).

Let me choose destination on map
Let  me specify my destination (for the fare quote or for actual …

How can you regain access of your Uber account once it's disabled?

By abhishek maurya
Update: Banned account is a pain, I have many friends who got locked out form Uber due to suspicious activity, some got their account enabled again after some conversation with Uber support and mostly are banned for life. Here is one scenario when you account may get banned. Read this story till end to get the idea.

Q. How can you regain access of your Uber account once it's disabled?

Recently uber had this scheme of "refer someone, that refferal gets 600 credits and you get 600 when he makes his/her first ride".

I made many people join , though all refferals were real and accounts were created with their permission and presence but all accounts were created from my phone .

I earned many credits. But soon my account was closed down.
Now whenever I try logging in from any acount in my phone  it gets banned within few minutes.

Is there any solution or any hack to avoid this and get my acount back ? I still have 5k credits left in my account and I desperately want it.

Soluti…
