Hi guys, I recently started driving and had the following experience, written below... (It is also a complaint / suggestion I have sent to Uber).

""Hi. I recently started driving. I was unfortunate to experience the fact that there are no "incentives" or payment protection for Uber drivers when riders ask drivers to please wait for them. On one occasion I waited for almost 2hours only to receive a low fare because the pick up and drop off locations were not too far. That said, I would suggest that Uber look into introducing a "Wait" option where the charge-per-minute increases over intervals of say 5 or 10 minutes. This is to discourage riders for unfairly "tying down" a driver for very long periods of time, and to also act as an incentive to the driver who can be driving making more money, rather than waiting. Because, i would think the Uber's goal is for both the driver and rider to be completely satisfied, which currently is not the case. It would be great if this is looked into and hopefully implemented.""

I'm not sure if others have experienced this (I know some would have), but I would like to use this as a medium to help "protect" drivers by having Uber implement a "Wait" option as stated in the message above.
