What are some popular cities where Uber/Lyft is unavailable or regulated in a way that makes it difficult to use? It would help me make sure I don't plan any vacations there.
- rdl 10y agoVancouver, BC, Canada. :( I fortunately live close enough that I just drive up there and thus have my car, but otherwise it sucks -- especially since so much of the interesting stuff is in more suburban parts. Austin, TX (recent change)
- s0rce 10y agoCalgary, AB is another one. Felt like going back in time when I visited from the bay area.
- aianus 10y agoBerlin and Germany in general I think.
- dx034 10y agoIt's all of Germany, uber got basically banned by court order. In Berlin they coorporate with a local taxi company, but uber as in other countries cannot exist in Germany.
- kartan 10y ago> It would help me make sure I don't plan any vacations there. Is this your number one priority to visit a city? Cultural offerings, architecture, meeting new people, that are my priorities. Which brands of private transportation by car are available or not is not a worry for myself. As is difficult to picture it by myself, what makes it so important for you that you have or not that brands over other considerations?
- ghaff 10y agoThat comment floored me as well. I spent almost a third of last year traveling for both business and pleasure, in both the US and overseas and maybe took an Uber four or five times. I can't begin to imagine a mindset that would lead me to plan trips around Uber availability.
- govg 10y agoMaybe it's just convenience. If I was traveling in a pair or so, having Uber/Lyft in a place I would go would immediately give me a way to get around the city.
