I hope not. I prefer my car service provider to be ruthless, impersonal, and corporate, not lovey-dovey like the "fist bump and ride in the front seat" people at Lyft. …and there's no way I want to go back to using DC Taxis.
- DHowett 10y agoAre DC Taxis not "ruthless, impersonal and corporate" enough?

- chinathrow 10y agoDo you want your car service also to be disrespectful about laws? Disrespectful about women in tech? Disrespectful to privacy?
- icebraining 10y agoIs it really a choice between the respectful and the non-respectful of the law? http://observer.com/2016/05/derailed-by-uber-deposed-new-york-taxi-king-gets-sued-in-chicago/ http://observer.com/2016/05/derailed-by-uber-deposed-new-yor...
- cx1000 10y agoWhich may also work against them... > If Uber stalls, it isn’t going to be saved by a loyal consumer fan base. There is no stickiness to Uber. It has no frequent-rider program. It has no social component. It prevents users from forming bonds with drivers. No one gets a heightened sense of self by identifying as an Uber rider versus some competitor. We’ll stick with Uber as long as it continues to get us where we want to go at a price we like. Someone else comes along with a better service or lower price, we’ll use it.
- colordrops 10y agoI don't know about DC, but in LA there's nothing lovey-dovey about Lyft. The ride is identical to Uber.
- massysett 10y agoExact same in DC, where many cars have both Uber and Lyft signs in the window.
- rhizome 10y agoPretty sure they dropped the fistbump years ago.
