This holiday season, Santa isn't the only one keeping a watchful eye on who is naughty and nice—Uber set up a Naughty or Nice booth to reward nice riders with an above-average rating. Uber riders who visit the booth set up for a limited time this December at Waterloo station will have the chance to show their rider rating in the Uber app. Those who boast an above-average rider rating (4.83 or above) will be gifted Uber credit for a train ride home for Christmas, and those who have a rating below 4.83 will be given a red bauble decorated with their rider rating.
Earlier this month, Uber unveiled that the average rider rating in the UK was 4.83 and its reports identified that riders in Merseyside are at the top of the nice list with a score of 4.9.
