> Uber penalizes drivers who refuse to accept a fare
Does Uber assign fares to specific drivers? And do they offer/assign fares in locations far from the driver? Otherwise drivers waiting in wealthy areas won't be offered/assigned fares in poor areas.
> This would also work to penalize drivers who are assigned a fare after dropping someone off in a bad neighborhood, and want to just GTFO without picking up the return fare.
I imagine they could logout or simply decline the few fares required to GTFO
Anyway, that's all theoretical. The answer only will come from some actual data.
