🚗 Mastering Rideshare Vocabulary: Uber & More - Advanced English Podcast
Description:
🎧 Buckle up, High Level Listeners! In Episode 8 of Season 2 of our Advanced English podcast series, we’re diving into the fast-paced world of ridesharing apps like Uber. By the end of this episode, you'll be equipped with an arsenal of advanced English vocabulary and phrases to confidently discuss ridesharing, whether you're in the heart of New York or navigating the streets of London.
🇺🇸🇬🇧 Kat, the American voice, and Mark, the British voice, are here to guide you through the nuances of American and British English as it relates to hailing a ride from your smartphone. From comparing prices between apps to the etiquette of tipping and rating your driver, we'll cover all the bases of rideshare conversations.
K: In the US, ridesharing is part of our daily grind. I'll share with you how I navigate through various apps to snag the best deal, ensure my ride is the one I booked, and handle the social dynamics with my driver - all while tipping through the app for convenience.
M: On the other side of the pond, we've got taxi apps that have transformed how we travel. I’ll take you through the simplicity and reliability of getting a ride in the UK, from double-checking the number plate to the unspoken rules of rating your driver.
🔊 Whether you’re a newbie to rideshare or a seasoned passenger, we promise you’ll learn something new today.

Yes, I do. The taxi is solid here dead easy. I open up the app to grab a taxi and I track my journey on Google Maps to make sure the right way. Thanks a ton, Mark & kat.
Wonderful! Thanks so much for your answers, and thank you for joining us in class today!
Yes, it’s fairly available in Dhaka, Bangladesh, I do seldom use the Uber App to get in.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot for another lesson🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You're very welcome! Thanks for studying with us once again!
Uber and Didi are both available in town , Monterrey, Mex., which is rather a big city and sometimes it takes more than 5 to 10 minutes to get someone. The app´s are standard internationally , so , they´re easy to use. Thanks!
Very cool! Thanks so much for sharing! Glad to hear that ubers are so easily to grab!
Thanks a lot for very practical and useful vocabulary. I really enjoy it. I was surprised to know that Uber in USA and UK is an app for different taxi services. In Ukraine where I am from Uber is a name of one taxi service.
Thanks for watching! Yes, Uber is like Google, we use the company name to talk about all versions of taxi apps! What are the other taxi apps in Ukraine, is there a Yandex one maybe?
@@highlevellistening There are different taxi services in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, namely Bolt, Uklon, etc. You can get a rider by using an app or call the phone number of the taxi company.
Hey teachers, thanks for the new episode!
I'm a big fan of your channel, but I'd really appreciate it if you could add English subtitles to the next episodes.

Hello guys. Amazing job, thank you for taking the time to create such nice lessons. Where I live Uber is the most popular ride sharing service, but there's another one called 99. It usually doesn't take long to find a ride nor for the driver to show up, unless it's rush hour (then they may cancel on you). There was a time I got cancelled on four times, because I was at a place a bit out of the way. Overall, it's quite easy and quick.
Oh my goodness, four times! I understand, when we used to live in a place quite far away we would get cancelled on quite often, thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience! We really appreciate it, great work ☺️
Hi from China, we have Uber apps too which is Didi, I live in Shenzhen Didi is solid,the drivers are available anywhere anytime, but the waiting time depends on the location and time slot and weather as well, you know busy places have more drivers available because of more work opportunities,night time few drivers available because they need to sleep , rainy days few drivers available because demands exceed supply
We totally understand, sometimes there are lots of people who need rides, but there's no drivers, so the price goes up. We also have Didi in Mexico and find it's better priced than Uber, thanks so much for sharing with us Ken!
Many thanks to you both, your videos are of a great benefit from us , how can I download the pdf of episodes ?❤

One more really useful lesson! Thanks a lot!
You're very welcome! Thanks so much for watching!
We have Uber drivers in Poland too. I think the most popular kind of taxi is BOLT in Poland. It is the same kind of taxi like Uber but you use other app. I live in Cracow and when it is big traffic car on the road, I take a BOLT. App of Bolt is very easy to use. You tap your address in app, app find your location and the app search drivers to your trip. Honestly, I always choose cheapest option for trip. If I see expensive taxi, I take a tram or if it is warm outside, I take a bike.
Yes! I'm glad that you have lots of options to take different platforms or choose to ride a bike instead, thanks for sharing your experience!
Welcome back
You are so so so kind Ken, thank you so much for joining us in class, we really appreciate your kindness and generosity!
Glad to see ya again ! We missed you around ! your podcast is always one of a kind ❤
Thanks so much for saying so! We're really glad you're here with us!
Hi guyx you doing as Uber training team, Ub2 should pay to you😊
Haha, we thought about that as we were making the video! It's just so common to use "Uber" even if it's a taxi, rideshare or another company!
hi my teachers
in morocco we have IDrever like Uber it's not a taxi but normal people who have nice care are able to work.
and could you use the apps to find some drivers closer and easier to you but at 4 pm is not available to take them because in my country people will start working at 8 pm so It's available at 6:30.
morocco people socially and I always talk to the driver for any subject and laugh .
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! Very interesting, using another service, we'll try to remember that if we ever visit Morocco!
happy to see you are back . this is a really good epsiode. i have learned something . i mean i have never known that we can swipe between different apps to get cheaper price. i
will give it a try and if it works where i live. . because i usually just go straight and grab one app .
Glad we could help! 😊 Sometimes the price difference is quite small, but other times it can be almost 20-30% cheaper, give it a try!"
Here in Colombia it is too dangerous if you want to use Uber or even taxis I'm not sure which is the worst app, maybe taxis but you need to be careful for example at 4:00 am I don't recommend using those apps taxis or Uber. 😢
why you are recommending not to use these apps? reason....
There are cities more safe for use many app sorry if you life in a city dangerus dont all in colombia is like terrible
Yeah, there are many places where it is safer, but unfortunately in my neighborhood it is completely dangerous to use those apps.
