I got off a bus once, at night, by mistake, in what seemed like a very bad part of town. I was waiting for the next bus to carry me away but became uncomfortable with my surroundings and so tried to get an Uber to come first. I had four or five cancel on me immediately after getting assigned and wound up having to wait for the bus anyway. I've never experienced that before or since with Uber.

Uber doesn't punish drivers for cancelling anymore because it kept being used as an argument that drivers are employees, not contractors.

Taxi's do the same thing. Wouldn't come to the location I was in, hung up, told us we were in a bad neighborhood and shouldn't be there. Eventually the bus came, we didn't want to wait 60 minutes with luggage.
