Ifind it a pain to do the 300 HP Grand Prix as I almost always finish 3rd. This means it takes me less time to finish 1st on the first 300 HP event (only 3 laps per track instead of 5 and much easier) and for the same amount of coins (48,000).
As has been said, no 'easy' way to build up the necessary money, Just have to grind it out, I did it on the 200hp Grand Prix.....Tried the 300hp but lost every now and then so even though it took longer I consistently won every time....great feeling as well to see that last 25g pop, not only for finishing the game, but because I didn't get the glitch....phew!
Anyone who reads Crossplay knows I\u2019m anxious about money. Yes, I like to think I\u2019m thrifty, rather than cheap, but honesty\u2026it\u2019s a fine line. I do have the ability to turn that anxiety off on vacation, especially in service of making our lives easier. Why am I spending all this time working, if not to make the \u201Cvacation\u201D part as good as possible?
I am not going to worry about paying nearly $20 for a beer when I want a damn beer and it\u2019s my only option, and simultaneously, I will pay any amount of money, however absurd, to fast pass my way to the front (or front-ish) of the line of a theme park ride.
(On that point, it\u2019s ludicrous that at Super Nintendo World, the Universal Studios fast pass, which is already expensive, does not apply to the heralded Mario Kart ride. You have to purchase something even more expensive if you want to jump the line there.)
Which is how, of course, I ended up paying nearly $100 in the final hours of our time at Disneyland ensuring me, my wife, and my oldest daughter were able to accomplish one of our main goals of Disneyland. If you\u2019ve been there, you can probably guess!
Question: Uber charged me $98 for a ride in Los Angeles this March. But I only agreed to pay $20 for it. The system kept glitching when I was on the app. I denied all of the high offers and took the lowest. They also canceled two drivers who were under $20. Can you help me get a $78 refund, please?
But in California, Uber displays its rates differently, which appears to be what happened to you. The system allowed drivers to set a higher rate, which most passengers rejected. Uber disabled the system that allowed drivers to set a higher fare multiplier.
It appears that when you requested your ride, you had several cars that set a higher fare multiplier. You turned them down but somehow still got matched with one of the more expensive drivers. That's a glitch.
When you notified Uber, it should have quickly corrected the problem. It did not. You made numerous efforts to contact Uber, but it still didn't help. Fortunately, I list the names, numbers and email addresses of the Uber customer service contacts on my consumer advocacy site, Elliott.org.
This is one of those rare problems that Uber seems to have fixed for its users before I contacted them. But it kind of forgot to take care of the problems it created for some of its users before the policy change. When you're dealing with hundreds of thousands of trips, as Uber does, it's easy to lose track of complaints like yours. But that's no excuse.
You could have reached out to Uber or initiated a credit card dispute. You kept a thorough paper trail, although you didn't have screenshots of your accepted rides. It's unrealistic to expect anyone to take a screenshot of a transaction that appears successful. But you almost have to do that nowadays. Otherwise, a company like Uber can overcharge you by $78.
I contacted Uber on your behalf. A representative reviewed your case and agreed that the app was glitchy at the time you used it. "Without getting into the weeds, this one seemed to have been a combination of a few things," he told me. Uber refunded the difference.
I realize this is an old game, but it's fun to pull out every once in awhile. However, I've found that I never make it very far into the game because I'll end up crashing one or more roller coasters on a particular level.
It doesn't seem to be avoidable. The crashes just happen eventually, even if your maintenance worker is checking it every 10 minutes. Every time this has happened, I can't recover or re-open the coaster after it's fixed. All I can do is delete the entire roller coaster, which can be costly and very annoying.
An easy way to avoid a crash is to place brakes before the station platform. Also, it's best to have a mechanic that fixes only that ride. If your roller coaster crashes, double-click the stop light to reset it. This will reopen it, but more than likely no one will want to go on it because "It isn't safe." Best thing to do is to save frequently andd just load a file after it crashes.
Following up on Shek's answer, your coaster will suffer from reduced popularity because the guests will see it as unsafe. Frankly, the only way to get back up to your pre-crash numbers on it is to delete it and rebuild it. Fortunately, it's easy to save the coaster, delete it, and then build it from the save file. It will cost you money, since you're "selling" the original coaster, which has depreciated in value, but as a side benefit, you do get a new installation, which means the coaster will be more reliable.
I have had brakes before the station and this failed. All breaks actually fail. Therefore, the safest way is to put in 1 train only. That way you know that it'll never crash. The ride that does not crash is the crazy mouse ride.
One virtuous thing that Lyft attempted was shared rides. For a lower fare, you could get a ride that would also pick up someone else along the way. This would reduce VMT and provide lower fares for fare sensitive folks, though still much higher than public transit fares.
It is terribly inefficient. I am a driver for Lyft, and this, due to other glitches with the algorithm, along with our pay being reduced involuntarily via a new contract last December, after removing the fuel surcharge from our pay (are they still charging passengers?), personally as a 35-40 hpw driver began losing > $400/month.
If you ever wonder why there are so few Lyft or Uber cars available. I have been driving for 6 years. Right as covid was loosening up, Lyft and Uber got together and made an illegal pact. Drivers made 80% of the fair, now we make 40%. How many people would still work for any company that cut your pay by 50%? They both suck
I feel that Should offer there Loyal customer free rides.Am using their services most of the time and am good tips but never does Lyft offer me any awards in feel this not the way you should treat your customers.
Never liked it, it is unconfortable and awkward, 2 completely strangers in the back, something is not right and prone to dangerous encounters. Cabs charge extra for more than one rider and for extra luggage and already have a surcharge for airport pickups. But mr lyft and Uber dont, this makes our rides completely inefficient and more wear and tear and gas usage. I picked a woman traveling by herself with 5 extra large luggage, if i leave them to load their stuff they will not take in consideration the care they must have with others property scratching or damaging car paint, so that means i have to handle that amount of luggage with excess of 80 punds each. Bound to injuries. Ride share totally unacceptable.
The one time I used Lyft back in 2018 was to go to the airport. We were more than halfway to the airport when the driver exited the freeway saying he had another fare to pick up since this was a shared ride. We went back way past my house by several miles to pick up the other passenger. By the time I finally got to the airport, the plane had already boarded and I was rushed to the gate to get on just as they closed the door. I have not used a ride share since and never will again.
2. Your airport experience was a chicken or the egg problem. You and the other rider were probably the only ones to request a shared ride at that time. Your experience was the result. This in turn causes people to reconsider shared rides causing a negative feedback loop where the poor experience results in reduced demand which further causes such experiences. Most people looking for transportation from an airport have been traveling and are tired and want to get where they need to go quickly.
Since 1991 I've been a consulting transit planner, helping to design transit networks and policies for a huge range of communities. My goal here is to start conversations about how transit works, and how we can use it to create better cities and towns. Read more.
Cheap Coaster:
To make a popular, money making coaster for around $2,000 dollars, listen to this. Choose the steel mini coaster, not the steel looping coaster. Build the coaster until it says too high for supports. Then make a steep drop all the way down. Then, brakes at 9MPH, and make 2 small curves to end it. Make a big waiting line. This will get you lots of money, higher your park raiting, and all for a small amount of money.
Better shop and stall placement:
Put shops and stalls near the rear of the park, not at the entrance. Once tired and hungry guests have walked all the way to the back, they will be more than willing to pay higher prices for snacks.
If you click on the fence you will return to the entrance with the Park Information.
Easy Money:
CLick on the raise or lower land button and make the land high and low and high and low again and keep doing this until you run out of money then after a while you will have unlimited money and all of the parks will be unlocked and you can go to the mega park!
Faster research:
Go to research and look under funding. There will be a lot of items check-marked, such as Shop and Stalls, Roller Coasters, etc. Go to maximum funding and choose only one item to check-mark to get faster research.
To quickly clean your park without using more money to replace the path that is dirty, select one of your handymen. Even though it might not be as fast as just replacing the path, drop them wherever there are empty cans and vomit piles. This also works for emptying the garbage.
