Uber is a ridesharing app for fast, reliable rides in minutes – day or night. There’s no need to park or wait for a taxi or bus. With Uber, you just tap to request a ride, and it’s easy to pay with credit card or cash (in selected cities only)

@chrissaad Great to know. One of my major pain points is the access points for saved addresses. I have saved my apartment address, but my apartment has 6 different access points. I would like to have the flexibility to drag and drop the pin during the home/work address setup so that I can instruct the drivers to the right access point. This avoids multiple phone calls before every pick up and instructing the driver to come to the right exit.
Super excited about the new direction and design of the Uber rider app. Lots of hard work from a lot of folks went into this. Creates a new foundation for an already incredibly useful platform.

@chrismessina awesome work, love the new design and features!
Seems fine but it doesn't really address the actual problems with the service. For example, the routing totally sucks. I get being San Francisco focused, but San Francisco is an easy place to navigate because roads are usually at right angles and the vast majority of intersections involve just two streets. In Boston it often routes drivers the long way around (which can take forever through lights and weird one way streets) when just going to a different corner at the same intersection would shave ten minutes or so off coming. What about making it easier to message drivers *without* giving our phone number away? Often you want to tell him to take a particular road or avoid a certain block, and the current process is really cumbersome. What about certifying drivers? Now they're mostly out-of-towners who blindly follow the GPS, which often sucks. In SF you want someone who knows to take Franklin north instead of Van Ness and in Boston you need need need somebody who knows that you avoid exit 18 off the Pike into Cambridge during the morning and the GPS is always wrong. I'm glad whatever your "product selector" is has been made "beautiful" but the base functionality of driving around a city still needs a lot of work. I use uber a lot (taxis here are a joke) but it seems like hard-to-solve problems are totally ignored in favor of UI tweaks.
