It's no secret that Uber has completely revolutionized the way we get around. Since its UK launch in 2012, over a quarter of Brits have used the ride-hailing app in the past month alone. 8.8 million of us also use Uber to commute to work, and 13.5 million to visit friends and family.
But what does being an Uber passenger entail? A recent survey ranked the average Uber passenger scores in different parts of the country, and the results were quite telling. Merseyside and Cambridge had the highest scores, clocking in at 4.9 and 4.89 respectively, while Londoners lagged behind with a score of 4.72.
So why are Londoners such bad Uber passengers? According to Uber drivers, the main reasons for low ratings are not wearing your seatbelt, slamming the door, being rude and abusive, trying to smoke out the window, and eating in the vehicle. This means London could learn a thing or two from other parts of the country when it comes to being a good Uber passenger.
If you're curious to find out your personal average rating breakdown, you can easily do so. Improving your score could even get you a free ride home for Christmas, so it's worth putting the effort in.
Uber also announced recently that Londoners will soon be able to book black cabs through the app, making it even easier for people in the capital to get around. With the weather being so cold and unpredictable, this could be a great way to get from A to B safely and without hassle.
