Due to local NYC regulations, when requests are low, drivers may be temporarily unable to go online or stay online.

If you’re not getting requests, try:

• Going to a busier area
• Waiting a few minutes and trying again

You can find open access times by navigating to the Assistant tab in the app.

If you are unable to go online, the best place to get more information is the home screen of your driver app. After attempting to go online, tap the blocker at the bottom of your screen for more information on why your account is blocked and any actions you can take to unblock the account.

Network connectivity

It’s possible that you’re in an area with limited or unavailable cellular network coverage. Try heading to a different location with better coverage.

Using an old app version or device operating system

Uninstalling and reinstalling the app often resolves the issue.
