Uber pool is just a terrible experience in many levels

1. Many drivers think they make less if the passengers are using Uber pool. I am not sure if this is true or if they are confused. However, when they find out I am using pool they instantly turn passive aggressive and start complaining how they make nothing on a pool ride. They make me feel as if I am taking advantage of them.

2. Uber also tries to pack the car these days. A lot of times, it is probably much faster taking public transit than using pool. One time, my pool ride was just going around picking up people and 15 minutes later I was exactly a block from where I started. I got off the ride and Uber has the balls to charged me $10 for "cancelling". Decided to quit Uber on that very day. Will only ride public transit or Lyft these days

Aren't there a few different pool "aggressiveness" options you can choose from?
