Which Aussie city has the nicest Uber passengers? Official rider ratings for 2024 revealed
It's that time of year again when Uber takes stock of the millions of rides Australian passengers took in 2024.
The rideshare giant's annual rider ratings rankings has been revealed, which listed the Australian cities with the best (and worst) average ratings.
Each time you complete an Uber ride, the driver has the option to give you a rating out of 5 stars.
The average national rating in Australia ia 4.82 stars, but some cities sit well below this.
Read on to see the list.
10. Perth
Uber riders in the fair city of Perth have a lot to answer for.
Passengers in the Wesern Australia capital had the worst average rider rating in the country, sitting at 4.79 stars.
Perthites were the naughtiest Uber passengers in 2023 too, so things aren't looking up for WA.
The entire state had a national rider rating average of 4.79 too.
9. Melbourne
Melbournians weren't far behind Perth, with this city's average rider ranking only one digit higher at 4.80.
This is 0.02 stars below the national average.
8. Canberra
Canberrans have an average Uber rider rating just short of the national average at 4.81 stars.
Not bad for a small city, but Uber expected better of the nation's capital.
7. Brisbane
Brisbane Uber passengers are bang on average for 2024.
Passengers in Queensland's capital enjoyed an average rating of 4.82.
7. Launceston
The same goes for Launceston in Tasmania, which tied with Brisbane at 4.82.
7. Adelaide
Adelaide managed to keep it steady with the same average rider rating as the whole of Australia at 4.82.
6. Geelong
The Victorian port city of Geelong had a lot of nice Uber passengers this past year.
The city managed to clock an average rating a notch above the median for Australia at 4.83 stars.
6. Hobart
Hobart Uber passengers were also a little kinder to drivers, it seems, with the same rating of 4.83.
6. Darwin
Uber riders in Darwin also managed to behave this year, enjoying an average of 4.83 stars too.
