The last bit is problematic, as one of the criticisms against them is that they don't eliminate the bad drivers. People drive with all sorts of criminal records which they tried to spin as something positive.
- zigzigzag 10y ago"Bad driver" has a wider meaning than "has a criminal record".
- lparry 10y agoIf that driver with a criminal record keeps their rating high enough to keep driving, what's the problem? A reformed criminal who drives safely and is pleasant to their passengers would be better than half the taxi drivers I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with
- ptaipale 10y agoA driver with criminal record is not the same thing as a bad driver. In many senses, being able to provide meaningful jobs to people with a criminal record is actually a service to the society. At least in my opinion, the idea of punishment is also rehabilitation, not that once you've been convicted of a crime, you could never be trusted with a job where you are in contact with other people or money or anything. So if Uber can hire them, and even their customer feedback is positive, that is a good thing.
