Start spreading the news: New York City has the most poorly behaved Uber riders in the country.
The nation's largest city ranked number one on a list of lowest average rider ratings among large US cities, according to a survey conducted by Uber and shared with Insider. Passenger ratings range from one to five stars, and are based on a variety of factors, including cleanliness, punctuality, safety, and overall respect for the driver and other passengers.
The survey, which also tracked the highest-rated cities, comes on the heels of Uber unveiling a new privacy center feature that allows users to view a comprehensive breakdown of their ratings per ride on the app to get a better understanding of their score.
"We hope that by giving users a peek into how their rating is calculated, we can help encourage positive experiences between riders and drivers on every trip," Zach Singleton, head of privacy and equity products at Uber, said in a statement.
