How to Add Multiple Stops to Your Uber?


Uber now lets riders add multiple stops to a single ride. This may be a standard feature of ordinary cab rides, but it has proven to be a long time coming for Uber and other ride-sharing services. Lyft added the option in 2016, and Uber has now finally caught up with its biggest competitor.
Love it or hate it, Uber is changing the way many of us get from A to B, especially in big cities. However, Uber is far from perfect, and despite its many advantages over regular taxis, it also has its disadvantages. One of which is the inflexibility of the drivers. But things are improving…

How to Add Multiple Stops to Your Uber

Uber has been testing allowing riders to add multiple stops to their journey since May 2017. And now it’s finally ready to roll out worldwide on Android and on iOS. It has already gone live in various big cities, and should be rolled out to everyone over the next few weeks.
You’ll know when you have the option by the addition of a ‘+’ sign to the right off “Where to?” If you click the ‘+’ sign you’ll be able to add up to three extra stops between your starting point and destination. And you can add, remove, or edit these during your journey.
As a courtesy to your driver Uber requests that you limit each stop to three minutes or less. Staying for longer at any stop could result in extra charges being added to your journey. So this is only meant for picking up and dropping off rather than waiting for someone outside a venue.
To be fair it was already possible to make multiple stops in a single Uber journey, but doing so meant informally arranging detours with your driver. Now, the option to stop several times in a single journey is built right into the app, making things much clearer for everyone concerned.

This Makes Sharing an Uber Easier Than Ever

This might feel like a small change to the way Uber operates, but it’s a rather crucial one for anyone who uses Uber to get home after a big night out. Now, rather than all having to book an Uber separately, you and your friends can all get in the same car and get dropped off one by one.

Do you regularly use Uber to get from A to B? If so, how often have you wanted to add extra stops between A and B? If not, does this option make you more likely to use Uber in the future? Are you happy carrying on using regular taxis? Please let us know in the comments below!

MacPorts Brings the Best Open Source Software to Your Mac

It’s safe to say that the Apple ecosystem brought “app stores” to the mainstream. Before the introduction of the iPhone, buying digital software was often full of trials like submitting your payment to the developer’s website, waiting for a license key by email, and negotiating refunds. You’d be forgiven for thinking that free and open source software (FOSS) is rare on the Mac, given Apple’s approach. In reality, the Mac is an excellent host for many of the community’s best free tools. MacPorts  is your “app store” for all this great software. Let’s take a look at how it works. What Is MacPorts? MacPorts is a package system for Macs. It’s very similar in function and use to the Red Hat Package Management (RPM) system and Advanced Package Tools (APT), which install DEB packages on Linux. Actually, it descends from the Ports system of FreeBSD. Did you know Mac OS X started its life as a fork of FreeBSD called Darwin? Even today macOS has a sol...

Google Birthday Surprise Spinner: The Best Games And How To Play them

Google is celebrating its birthday in perhaps the most Google of ways: with a Doodle that lets you play through the most fun Doodles ever. The company is now 19 years old (or is it?) and so has a huge stock of entertaining and time-wasting little animations to play through. So it has selected the best of recent years and assembled them all into the meta-Doodle, which lets people use a spinner to find which of the Doodles to play. Using the Doodle is simple enough: you head to the Google homepage, click on the spinner, and opt either to play the option you've been given or have another go. But read on, because there's a major catch. In some cases, they're actually better than the times they were Google Doodles. That's because the company has made them full screen this time around, allowing you to see everything you're doing without all that bothersome Google branding getting in the way. For most people, picking through the games is an initially fu...
