If they were sincerely trying to acquire new customers, why wouldn't they do anything to combat their shit reputation?

  Their shit reputation has paved the ground for all the other apps that showed up afterwards. I dont think people appreciate how the ride-share revolution would not have happened without Uber's aggresive brand. Look at lyft, stuck in markets where uber is already there. Meanwhile, Uber fought legal battles and city governments all around the world: their staff often jailed and persecuted. What brand do you want to have when governments send your employees to jail? Quirky funny, or ruthless?

    Why do people call it ride-sharing? It's not about sharing rides, it's just a taxi firm with an app.

      Sure, a sleek modern taxi company that got employees in jail by city governments, and has an aggressive rep to fight back. How many people got jobs and faster and cheaper commutes because Uber took a hit themselves to disarm local morally bankcorrupt governments?

      Because that would make Uber illegal. They call themselves ride sharing to escape taxi regulations
