As a driver or a rider?

driver. Not as often in the SF area, but in SD, a large chunk of my rides were driving people who were down and out. Once on Uber, I drove a guy 25 miles to work at a 7-11. He had killed a guy in a bar fight by accident, went to jail for manslaughter, and coming out of jail couldn't find any job. It took him an hour and half to get to work, but he was late, and if Uber wasn't there, he'd have lost his job. His girlfriend had won $100 in uber credit due to a radio promotional contest, and was using the credit to get him to work.
