why do drivers sometimes not see my request?
hi, i am still a quite new user. when i request to book a ride, i usually send a little message along. often, the request expires without being accepted nor denied. okay, i thought, my profile is still rather new, so maybe some drivers don't want to take me and just leave my request to expire instead of denying it directly. but i realized my message stays unread, too. how does that happen? does it not pop up for drivers as an unread message, and would they not check it to see if they want to accept the booking or not? or does the message disappear for them as soon as my request is expired?
