A recent study by Len Sherman reveals that Uber's forward-dispatch rides often result in longer wait times and higher fares for passengers. Originally designed to help drivers secure new jobs efficiently, Sherman argues that this practice impacts rider satisfaction negatively. Uber disputes these claims, maintaining that forward dispatch is intended to enhance convenience and reliability. The analysis was based on data from two high-performing drivers who predominantly utilized forward-dispatch trips, demonstrating that riders experienced up to a 60% increase in wait times.
Passengers often watch as their Uber driver makes another stop before picking them up, highlighting frustrations with the forward-dispatch system.
