🚗 Mastering Rideshare Vocabulary: Uber & More - Advanced English Podcast
Description:
🎧 Buckle up, High Level Listeners! In Episode 8 of Season 2 of our Advanced English podcast series, we’re diving into the fast-paced world of ridesharing apps like Uber. By the end of this episode, you'll be equipped with an arsenal of advanced English vocabulary and phrases to confidently discuss ridesharing, whether you're in the heart of New York or navigating the streets of London.
🇺🇸🇬🇧 Kat, the American voice, and Mark, the British voice, are here to guide you through the nuances of American and British English as it relates to hailing a ride from your smartphone. From comparing prices between apps to the etiquette of tipping and rating your driver, we'll cover all the bases of rideshare conversations.
K: In the US, ridesharing is part of our daily grind. I'll share with you how I navigate through various apps to snag the best deal, ensure my ride is the one I booked, and handle the social dynamics with my driver - all while tipping through the app for convenience.
M: On the other side of the pond, we've got taxi apps that have transformed how we travel. I’ll take you through the simplicity and reliability of getting a ride in the UK, from double-checking the number plate to the unspoken rules of rating your driver.
🔊 Whether you’re a newbie to rideshare or a seasoned passenger, we promise you’ll learn something new today.

    Hello guys. Amazing job, thank you for taking the time to create such nice lessons. Where I live Uber is the most popular ride sharing service, but there's another one called 99. It usually doesn't take long to find a ride nor for the driver to show up, unless it's rush hour (then they may cancel on you). There was a time I got cancelled on four times, because I was at a place a bit out of the way. Overall, it's quite easy and quick.

    Hi from China, we have Uber apps too which is Didi, I live in Shenzhen Didi is solid,the drivers are available anywhere anytime, but the waiting time depends on the location and time slot and weather as well, you know busy places have more drivers available because of more work opportunities,night time few drivers available because they need to sleep , rainy days few drivers available because demands exceed supply

    We totally understand, sometimes there are lots of people who need rides, but there's no drivers, so the price goes up. We also have Didi in Mexico and find it's better priced than Uber, thanks so much for sharing with us Ken!

    We have Uber drivers in Poland too. I think the most popular kind of taxi is BOLT in Poland. It is the same kind of taxi like Uber but you use other app. I live in Cracow and when it is big traffic car on the road, I take a BOLT. App of Bolt is very easy to use. You tap your address in app, app find your location and the app search drivers to your trip. Honestly, I always choose cheapest option for trip. If I see expensive taxi, I take a tram or if it is warm outside, I take a bike.
