What are the odds of getting the same Uber driver?

What are the odds of getting the same Uber driver? Since Uber and Lyft don't share data about passenger trips and driver history it would be impossible to calculate the real odds so let's just say… “low.” Driving or taking passenger trips in an area with a smaller population the odds would be higher.

Yes! However, I would suggest calling the driver and asking first. I would also recommend a nice tip. A driver's concern with such a long drive is that the passenger will not tip, typical of Uber riders, and he will have to return home with no fare/compensation for the 2 hour trip back.
