- Aelinsaar 11y agoThat seems like a service a taxi company (Uber in this case) with a normal revenue stream could afford to offer. It doesn't sound like a viable independent model.
- duaneb 11y agoThis seems like an area where the lack of oversight of drivers would all of a sudden matter a LOT.
- Aelinsaar 11y agoSure, but again a company with Uber's money and network can afford to explore creating such a service, without having to fold before they can. More, they could sustain it, and generalize it to a network of "Trusted drivers". So, to me, it seems much more viable as a sub-unit of a larger company.
