They're not calling for pickup location. They are calling and specifically asking "where are you going". They do it to avoid short fares. Which is why Uber has this against their policy, so they dont end up in the same mess as taxii companies.RE being unpaid to pick up passengers, this is a problem to take up with Uber, not try to screw passengers for.
