Re: Uber App: Finding Your Driver
Thanks to all who posted to this thread. I have passed along all comments to my friend, and I am sure she now has all the information she needs to make it easier for her driver and her to find each other.

Re: Uber App: Finding Your Driver
The buttons are clearly labeled. To get to them though, you tap (double tap for VoiceOver users) the bottom of the screen with the driver's name and car type. That will bring up a screen with your trip and driver information, along with a button to contact the driver. In the contact screen, you can hit the call or message buttons for how you want to contact the driver. I always do this as well with my Uber trips. A number of drivers have told me via text or later during the ride that my text helped them find me faster.

Re: Uber App: Finding Your Driver
Thank you, Rob. I don't use the app, so' I didn't know there were "text" and "call options." I take it the buttons are clearly labeled, right?

RE: Uber App: Finding Your Driver
The best thing to do is call or text the driver and tell him where you are. You might also indicate that you are blind and he will need to identify himself.
