Uber Settles Cases with Concessions, but Drivers Stay Freelancers

<i>Uber also agreed not to deactivate drivers who regularly decline to accept requests for rides from passengers, a practice that previously would contribute negatively to a driver’s overall standing with the company. Instead, drivers may be temporarily logged out of the app and unable to accept new requests if they are “consistently not accepting trip requests.”</i><p>Does this mean drivers will be more able to decline rides from nearby areas they don&#x27;t want to serve - like cabs? For instance, accepting rides from a business hotel zone, but decline from the poorer surrounding areas?
