- JustSomeNobody 8y agoDoes that matter? They’re still scamming and that’s bad.
- jopsen 8y agoYes, things can be better without being perfect. Don't let perfection get in the way of improvement. Plus, with uber you can easily give a low rating, then drivers will disappear from the platform within long. This is why behavior like this isn't widespread, and why it's better than taxis..
- soneca 8y agoDefinitely not. I live in São Paulo, where the situation is much better than Rio, for example, but still. With Uber you have a much lower probability of being scammed and a much higher probability of getting your money back after it (with taxis the probability of getting your money back is basically zero). And by the way the probability of being scammed at all increases not only by being a foreigner, it increases only by being from another place and not knowing the city. There are dozens of cases of friends of mine born in São Paulo who got scammed by taxi drivers in RJ. With Uber/Cabify/99 this became much less common.
