Did the title confuse you? Let me clarify… As per Uber’s latest partner email, starting November 25, partners can already accept trip requests even when you are already on a trip. Kahit nasa trip ka pa, pwede nang tumunog agad ang app para sa isang panibagong request. Wala nang hintayan para sa driver. Pagkababa ng rider, diretso ka na agad sa susunod na rider.
How it works
Before the trip is over and you are already near your destination, you as the driver will be placed back as an available car in the system. This means that you can already receive requests even though your trip is not yet ended with the current rider. You will get a request notification for the next rider while the you are still on trip with the current one. After accepting, you will be redirected to the current trip screen. Here’s how it looks like on your driver app:
Uber’s objective for this changes are:
- lower ETA’s for partners and riders
- decrease request waiting times for drivers
Some important notes for drivers:
- Confirm with your riders that the destination they entered is the final destination. If not, change it in your app so as not to receive too early requests
- If rider has multiple stops, make sure that you DO NOT choose FINAL DESTINATION. Change that if you are really going to the final destination.
- Riders will see a popup in the rider app that you are still finishing a previous trip. Your drop-off point will also be shown to them so the riders know that they have to wait for you. Don’t worry too much about it.
- It is expected that partners and drivers need to adjust with the new system. There will be challenges in the short term but hopefully with this change, riders and partners both reap the benefits in the end.
A little tiring but fun specifically during surges!

Hard work is the key to success 🙂
Hi Marco, I am very eager to go onboard but I am still waiting for my PA. Pls. Help me to expedite my papers. Thanks
That is a better idea of uber which favors both riders and partners,saves gas and time.
Our driver experienced already this new program of yours. This is awesome!!! At least no more waiting for our drivers to pick up our riders. Of course more income for everyone of us. Hopefully, Uber brings back again the incentives or they give program also the same as the incentives but will be given as a regular payment. Uberon!!!
The app hangs/glitches when you’re ending the trip, sometimes im unable to end my trip and i am forced to restart my phone. Pls check this out.
Kindly email Uber about your feedback through the Uber Driver App or by emailing them at
Nice experience,very useful no more dull time…but incentives is the best were is it now?Pls bring it back even a minimal amount of 50 per riders complete trip. the cover the gasoline..
I hope this new scheme will improve the availability of Uber cars in the Holy Spirit Drive area ( Commonwealth Ave, QC ). It is taking forever to book a ride in the past several weeks.
Our latest was just after lunch today, 2 PM. We opted for GrabCar instead.
Pls give my driver more trips, he is planning to resign if he will not earn more, since the incentives was cut down we should also as operators earn for our monthly ammort for our unit, uber should do somthing in our favor
Kindly direct your request to Uber at
its good, nice app again, uber on,!
the new triception is excellent but i experienced once when i received and accepted a new request when am on-trip that the app stopped and cancelled my on-trip rider and the new rider’s request pop-up which gave me trouble with my first rider, though uber settled it after i emailed
Hi Christopher. Just want to ask how Uber settled it? Same case happened to us and when we reported it to Uber, it was a cancelled trip as recorded.
