I like them on the right pax side. My mirror set to see their every move while they are there. Rear driver side is ok to because while we are chatting I can see them from mirror. But; once they sit at front, I have to keep turning my head to talk to them. I hate that. And also they fuck with my seat settings.
I went to the Meijer Auto section and bought this wide angle rearview clip on mirror, and conversations with passengers are great no matter where they sit. Actually, I’ve had several passengers who think it looks very cool! That and they like being able to have a conversation while actually seeing the driver’s face; not having to lean over in order to see me in my regular rearview mirror.
Honestly I prefer they sit in the back but whatever they are comfortable with. In cold season I wish I could insist something!
I’m okay with people sitting in the front seat. I don’t mind, especially when they look and smell good…lol. We usually have great conversation when they sit in front
The problem with them sitting up front is you don’t know if they’re sick, if they’re crazy, if they enjoy touching shit, or if they’re a control freak and have to control everything. Safety first people, make them sit in the back! We get background checks, they don’t!
It’s just poor etiquette to jump in the front.
Big and Tall, are the ONLY exception!! The backseat is more difficult for them to get in and out.
My dad really struggles to get out of the car for sure
Safety first would be letting them sit in front…From a tactical stance you have a better chance at defending yourself if you see it coming
Ever seen that video of the taxi driver shot in the back of the head? Dude never saw it coming. I like them being in the front. I can watch their hands and movements. I’m also in a better location to physically subdue them should they try to grab something.
I don’t care to drive late at night. I only need enough to cover a few bills so I’m not going to risk death for the nutty doped up drunkards. Thanks
Idc as long as they understand my bubble ( personal space) and don’t be touching my dash and controls without permission. One guy literally was changing my volume on radio and changing temps all without even thinking to ask the owner of the car…
I hate that shit too! When they try to change the music I turn it off since I have a button on my wheel for music volume and the on/off switch. They freak out when i do that cuz I tell them “oh I hope you didn’t break it cuz Uber/Lyft charged the last person $500 so I could get it fixed” 
What I really don’t like is the One that wants to just sit behind me. I know and you got it all the way back on purpose right, gee some people… just last night I had to go threw this and it did’nt stop the pax from sitting there.
Me too . I can’t see what they are doing and my seat is back further than the pax side, unless you need to order from a drive thru or atm why sit there. I’m going to try that…
I don’t mind but I got approved for my dog be with me but if Dodgers not with me yeah cool don’t mind
Not at all I actually prefer a single passenger next to me verses behind me it’s just my preference after years in law enforcement and working in prisons. Lol
I let them sit where they want… I’d rather them there than behind me! I’d rather have them in front. Back seat is more dangerous and easier to talk if their in front and more comfortable for them.
I also keep a knife in my drivers door. So if there beside me and start going crazy I could stab them in the neck. When there in the back seat I cannot do anything I’m at there mercy. That takes the concept of customer service to a whole new level!
It’s a shame we have to have defensive thoughts. Our job is more dangerous than a correctional officer’s job. It was just a thought. about the similarities of “being prepared”…It only takes ONE crazy person high on God knows what, no alarms or whistles to blow, that night could be your last UNLESS you have the sense of Shawn with some form of back up plan. I was merely stating how dangerous it COULD be if one was not prepared mentally, physically and spiritually. No disrespect to C/O’s because I know all too well about these jobs.
I don’t mind, I like to talk to them when they’re next to me, kind of weird when they’re in the back. I encourage them to sit in front, but some insist on the rear seat. Makes the ride more personal and lively typically when they sit in front
I have single riders sit in the front for safety reasons. My life is more important than making money. I’m able to observe you. in my opinion, I’m able to see you a lot clearer. I’m not saying it would stop them, I’m saying my guard is up at all times. I will protect myself.
