Tell them you're switching to Lyft.
I tried that.
Didn't help.

A little over a year ago, I called from my ipod touch if that helps (from the app, but left from my house so it was just wifi and obviously lost connection after car arrived)

I had a issue recently and they adjusted it right away. I sent a uber to pick us someone and the Driver seemed to keep the clock ticking after the passenger left.

When I do a fare estimate from Flatbush to lakewood it shows up as 230 dollars, but when I do from lakewood to Flatbush it shows up 100 dollars. Which one is right or does it really make a difference which way I go?

Depending where you start rates are different. Could be the rates in Lakewood are that much cheaper.

It seems that's the case. If you really need to ride from Flatbush to Lakewood, end your ride as soon as you cross the bridge entering New Jersey and call a new Uber for the remainder. I just checked the fare estimates and confirmed you would save a bundle this way.

If you ride Uber or Via often are interested in purchasing discounted Uber rides, please pm me.
The price is $6.75 per ride up to $20 (for example is the ride is $24, you will be effectively paying $6.75 + $4, if it's under $20 then the effective price is $6.75) and I am only taking orders in 20 rides increments due to Uber's algorithms.

Starting tomorrow, May 9, all uberPOOL rides below 110th Street will be $5 flat during weekday commuting hours.
*$5 flat rates will never surge and will only apply to uberPOOL trips starting and ending in Manhattan below 110th street between 7–10am and 5–8pm, M–F.

The fact that Via raised $100 millions is doing wonders! The big problem with Uberpool is that they now can have more than 2 riders (they ask if you are one or two people to add a third and fourth rider) at once and they must use the Uber navigation system, which according to every driver I've talked to is the worst navigation. So in that price range I would still pick Via for a more deficient routing/timing.

My drivers have asked me if I mind if they use Waze or Google.

Same here, but as of last week or the week before for Uberpool in NYC they are supposed to use Uber's.

you can get an accurate estimate based on current traffic on your Uber app. They give you a price range.

If u do pool optiion, the price is guarenteed+ I think its 5$ cheaper. Remember its a price ESTIMATE.
