London is shit though. Last night I booked an Uber, if I'd been asked to imagine a reasonable price for the trip I would have come up with something a lot like the price I was charged. If it was a normal taxi I'd have been charged at least £20. I don't have any sympathy.
- foldr 10y agoUber is able to sell rides at those prices by subsiding the drivers with investor money.
- rahoulb 10y agoI expect licensed taxis to be expensive. The problem is now I have no choice but to get an Uber because the private hire firms don't have enough drivers and don't show up. And from speaking to the drivers it's because Uber is paying them way above market rates for their first year.
