5 after 5 rides. Do ratings gathered only in Australia transfer to when you use the application in, say, Europe?
Hope you 1 starred back, if it was a smooth trip as you describe.

I don't really see the logic in Uber drivers discriminating too much about passenger ratings. If an Uber driver forgoes a 4.5* passenger, they're the ones indirectly paying through lost opportunity cost, expenses (in driving around driving around aimlessly) and their diminishing hourly earnings. Underutilisation is a massive cost to taxi/Uber drivers, so it's in their inventive to maximise it. Logic would suggest they should accept that passenger and the balance of probabilities which suggests the passenger will be probably be okay - I highly doubt a Uber driver could discern between a 4.5* and a 4.8* passenger anyway...Had an interesting conversation with a driver last night about passenger ratings. He was saying that a lot of ex-taxi drivers have a tendency to give low ratings to people who take short trips as a means of identifying these people prior to accepting a job. The more short trips you take the more likely you are to be given a lower rating which will obviously lower your overall rating. So then when your rating flashes up on the screen when the job comes through the driver will use that to judge the likelihood of the job being a short one.
As a driver I have never heard of this but then I only drive one day a week and don't participate on any of the uber forums. Personally I just accept everything.
4.73. No idea why - I've rated all successful trips 5. Naturally I've had drivers cancel on me or make fake trips, for which I've been credited back by Uber. Maybe they were successful in both lying about the trip to steal a fare AND giving me no stars as well, gee how low can you be?
