This is routing from LaGuardia airport in NY, meaning the "walking" route has you taking a subway. Maybe the walking buddy is a local NYC thing meant for people who want assistance navigating the trains. I never see this on my app tho so it must have been a trial feature.
Ah yes, the escort service.
Why is the walking buddy holding hands? Are they letting you know Kevin is single and ready to mingle?
You know... There's a lot of women that wouldn't dare to walk alone at night. That white Kevin has been vetted by Uber and has a paper trail.
How about not just a white Kevin but an Armed Stacey, or a security guard Michelle.
of course, it'd probably cost MORE to get someone to walk with you because they'd have to not only drive there and walk but walk back.
Vetted by Uber doesn't really mean much.
Especially because there's a huge industry for fake driver accounts so literally anyone can buy an uber 'employment'.
How do they get by having their actual picture?
"Drop off" makes it sound like he'll carry you.
About to rent me one
I would like this
For $7.50 I'd unironically use a walking buddy at least once
For safety in numbers, or talk therapy?
Novelty?
That's literally the only reason to me. I'd be so weird for 20min that he'll talk about it for a decade.
Them: white Kevin
You: dressed in a full body banana costume while awkwardly carrying a cinder block. Refuse to explain why, or talk about anything except a ranked list of the worst smells you've ever experienced. Destination is a closed public library at 2am. Say "well, it's time to do the thing I came here to do." Stand, watching them until they walk away.
I know this is a parody, but:
In the US, you might soon need a white "walking buddy" when they re-instate Jim Crow laws, because you wouldn't be allowed to travel without a white man leading the group.
I have some friends who have the same problem all their love because they are women.
"I will be right there, I am just 3 white guys away from that place"
Honestly in some areas of town late at night, I would totally make use of a service like this...
...but I'd also expect the service be abused by people seeking people to harass.
I feel awfully called out as a 1994 white Kevin...
Hahaha white Kev never can catch a break
Honestly this is a great joke but also could legitimately be a good service for someone who didn't feel safe walking alone, or needs help navigating
You're right, this is a great services for predators to register.
It’s a great idea. This is the shit side of it.
A lot of university campuses have this. It's a good idea.
My school had a number you could call and they'd dispatch a golf cart with 2 student workers to take you anywhere on campus for free, 24/7 (minus holidays and breaks when University offices were cosed).
I found out in my senior year, that my campus had been plagued by a serial rapist for several years, going back to before i was a freshman, and the school had covered it up. I only found out about it when i learned that my roommate's girlfriend had a sorority sister on a full-ride scholarship to keep her quiet about being raped in her freshman year.
Suddenly, the pressure to use their chaperone service became clear.
They probably don't charge money for that service though, and that's a better idea.
Both see the same offer, neither get the money
Do they bring their own leash or can you use your own?
Can I use the one with the fuzzy collar?
It's at least 5 years old and it seems every single year the news outlets "fact check" it and declare it false.
Meanwhile we have actual conspiracy theories on official government websites and those same outlets say nothing.
I hate this timeline.
