Uber passengers who habitually leave their trash behind and disrespect their drivers may soon get the boot.

習慣性留下垃圾以及不尊重駕駛的Uber乘客，很快就會無法再使用Uber。

The ride-hailing company announced Tuesday that riders with ratings that are ’’significantly below average’’ may lose access to the app, part of a rollout of the company’s updated community guidelines, which riders must abide by to continue using the service.

這家叫車公司週二宣布，評分「大幅低於平均值」的乘客，可能會無法存取Uber的app，為該公司的更新版社區守則的一環，乘客若要持續使用該公司的服務，就必須遵守這些守則。

Uber, however, said that bans for bad behavior won’t come as a surprise to offending passengers. Riders will receive several notifications before they lose access to the app, the company said.

不過，Uber也說，不會突然以行為不佳為由禁止叫車以致冒犯到乘客。該公司說，乘客會先接獲數次通知，然後才會無法存取app。

And they also will have opportunities to improve their rating to remain in good standing. Tips to boost a user’s rating include：’’encouraging polite behavior, avoiding leaving trash in the vehicle and avoiding requests for drivers to exceed the speed limit,’’ Uber said.

而且乘客也有機會改善其評分以維持好名聲。提升使用者評分的秘訣包括：「鼓勵禮貌行為，避免在車內留下垃圾，與避免要求司機超速，」Uber說。
