[Nfbsf] voiceover and Uber Pool/Uber Express Pool questions

[Lisa Irving-Pardini]

Hello Friends, 

 

I am using an IPhone 8s and the latest update. I also use Lyft and uber.
Over the past month Uber appears to have combined the selection for Uber
Pool and Uber Express Pool; there's no longer separate options. However,
according to a sighted passenger, there is a secondary layer which allows
the Uber passenger the option to change to Uber Pool. I haven't come across
this option, have you? 

 

Also, voiceover reads off the address that I type in while the actual screen
has a box that reads, "meet driver here" and there's a map behind the text.
Has anyone else encountered these changes, and how have you handled these
changes? 

 

I'm willing to adapt and of course, save money and use Uber Express Pool.
What I'm not sure how to do is to find out exactly where my driver is once I
walk to the location. I understand that sighted passengers can see a map and
the actual location of exactly where their driver is located. I also learned
that drivers can see exactly where passengers are located if passengers have
enabled the share location feature. I know the obvious is to contact the
driver. The pesky matter is the language barrier and the driver may not
respond to his/her phone for obvious reasons. Ideas please? 

 

Thanks! 

Lisa
