Uber will allow its riders to view a breakdown of their score starting Wednesday.
“We’re making it easier than ever to see exactly how your rating is calculated. And for the first time, we’re showing you the good (and the bad) ratings you received,” Uber’s Privacy Product Manager Zach Singleton wrote.
“You’ll see how many drivers gave you a stellar 5-star rating, how many handed out the dreaded single star, and everything in between,” he added.
The new feature is available to all Uber users via the Privacy Center in both the app and website.
How to view your ratings

How to improve your overall rating
The car company shared some tips with riders on how they can improve their overall rating, which is the average score of their last 500 trips.
According to Uber drivers, riders are more likely to give a five-star rating if they are clean, buckle their seatbelts, are ready on time, and don’t slam the door.
Another huge contributing factor is being respectful, which is outlined in Uber’s Community Guidelines.
