I was going to type a reply about how I'll never take another Uber (not only due to this, but everything else associated with that brand too), but I realized I'd be lying. It's too convenient and available in locations lacking alternatives. My moral outrage won't stop me drunk and wanting to get home to give them more money.
- pjlegato 10y agoIf it makes you feel any better, most taxi companies are even more reprehensible than Uber. They just operate at much smaller scale, so nobody notices.
- rhizome 10y agoThe reprehensibility of taxi companies is a big reason why Uber was invented. That said, as with their drivers and corporate practices, Uber and taxi companies are converging on a mean behavior level that in my case has rendered Uber expendable.
- eridius 10y agoI deleted Uber off of my phone a long time ago. Everywhere that I've traveled to since then has had perfectly decent Lyft coverage. I'm under no illusion that Lyft is a saint of a company, but they're a hell of a lot better than Uber.
- rabboRubble 10y agoTry Lyft. The drivers make more money too!
- kafkaesq 10y agoI'll step in an Uber in exceptional cases (basically only when someone else is ordering and I don't want to start a scene), but that's about it. Otherwise, I'll use Lyft or whatever local alternatives might be available, if at all possible.
