Why is Uber more efficient than taxis? Friendlier, faster to dispatch, no discrimination, no tipping, sure Uber/Lyft wins those hands down. But at the end of the day what stops a cab from having the same load as a TNC vehicle?
- khuey 10y agoThere's no cab equivalent to Uber Pool/Lyft Line.
- iopq 10y agoBecause I usually drive 2 passengers at the same time. I start by picking someone up. Then Uber app finds someone half way to the first person's destination. After I drop off the first person it finds someone else to pick up on the way, etc. So I end up with an average of 2 people in my car. Sometimes I pick up a group of two people while I already have a passenger. That's four people in the same car, I'm not sure if it goes up to five. I've never seen taxis do this.
- acchow 10y agoCab doesn't pick up more passengers during a ride (a la Uber Pool/Lyft line). Also, dropping off a passenger in a uber/lyft is much less disruptive to traffic flow than a traditional cab which has to process a payment.
