But wait: I actually understand Italian. The point is not that they do not speak English, the point is; it is another point of service. He asked what superior service; multi lang is better than unilang right?
And they do their best to accomodate you even as a foreigner.
And maybe it is different in Italy, but in NL (where I am from) not too many people like the rude regular cab drivers: it is not only tourists :) That has changed a bit since Uber but not a lot so still not a lot of incentive to take the regular ones.
- foldr 10y agoIt's not something that I would personally worry about when taking a taxi. As long as you can say the name of your destination, or write it down, you'll be ok. I doubt it's more than a very small minority of people in Italy who will miss Uber for this reason.
- tluyben2 10y agoSure, but it is extra service beyond regular cabs wether or not you might need or want it is something else.
- Tomte 10y agoOkay, I'll start supporting Uber in those dreadful HN threads, as soon as a majority of Uber drivers in the US speaks German. Promise!
- tluyben2 10y agoStill not what I meant or implied. Maybe my dutch-english brain is off today as I do not know how to say it differently; I was not singling out language; it is an advantage. An advantage; not the top one, not the most important by any means. But wow, everyone is touchy about that. As native Dutch I would not mind the rest of my life speaking English or Spanish or German or Mandarin and never Dutch but I see others really fly off the handle. I am a person who goes to countries prepared and I speak my languages; I said it is an extra feature for drivers, not a must.
