Normally, I'm wary of Uber and it's business practices, but I am soooo ready for this. The cabs where I grew up were awful - they took forever to come and the drivers were often rude and unhelpful. I could never count on them. Plus, drop-offs and pickups at the train stations were always a nightmare.
- jameshart 10y agoI have bad news for you: those cab drivers are now your local uber drivers.
- the_watcher 10y agoThe difference is that there's now a rating system for them, and because Uber's broken the protectionist medallion racket, even if they're rude and unhelpful, at least you can get a ride reasonably quickly, and they can't take kooky routes without being accountable. It's pretty clear that even if the driver pool includes all cab drivers that this is a major net positive for riders.
