Don’t Keep Uber Waiting!

Uber is a very convenient way to get around ... just don't keep 'em waiting.

Yes, they will wait a few minutes before leaving. Keep 'em waiting too long though and, you'll be charged for it! The rates vary from place to place and there's no word yet on when, or if, the new policy will begin here in The Borderland.

AOL.com says Uber is making a few other changes as well.

• Uber is expanding its Destinations program to let drivers pick up passengers along a specific direction (say, if you want to only pick up passengers on your way home after a long shift).
• Drivers can now pause incoming requests so they can take a break or end their shift without their ratings dropping due to canceled requests.
• Drivers can now apply for Uber's company credit card to access their hard-earned money immediately.
• Uber is piloting a 15 percent discount on UberX rides for every 10 trips they complete in a week, or 50 percent off UberBLACK per 20 trips.

Just so 'ya know!
