I'm late to the Uber craze, but I see now that this is one of the most genius and impressive game-changers of this weird time period we're in.

But, I'm wondering why would any sane person drive for uber in Athens G A of all places and deal with the people puking and pissing , passing out and whatnot in your own vehicleM

In my day, they had taxi vans, "Your Cab" was one I believe......and there was never a ride home ever once when weird shite didn't go down involving one or more of the idiot strangers you were sharing a van ride with at 2:30am.

Has Uber taken off in Athens?

Also, what is the etiquette on tips with the uber?

I always lived withing walking distance of downtown. Despite a few attempted mugging from the projects, it worked out. I didn't have money for a cab in those days anyway.

The ingenious thing about uber is you are rated as a customer. If you screw around with the driver, it will be very difficult to get a ride the next time. That said, not sure drunk college kids think that through in the moment. But certainly there is an incentive to behave and keep your friends in line when you're the one who ordered the uber.

That's one of those things you deal with anywhere you're an Uber driver. It's simply a risk that you take. The good thing is, you can set your own hours so if you don't want to do 2 AM Clayton Street runs, you don't have to.
