> as a guy, i've only had good experiences (except for the opaque surge pricing which always feels extortionate) Totally off the main topic here, but I'm also a guy and I've had one ride that was a little hair-raising. I wasn't harassed, mind. I was riding with two girls (downtown Toronto) in an Uber and the driver was clearly on speed. He was extremely chatty, actually quite friendly, but very frantic. Took many last-second turns, wrong way down one-way streets and driving over curbs to get out of the way of cars on said one-way streets. It was nuts. That said, all other rides I've had have been just fine. Often better than my experiences with Toronto cabs. There's no cash benefit for them taking the "scenic route" or "making wrong turns" which I've had less-scrupulous cabbies do to drive up the fare. That's a feature I appreciate. But I just make myself deal with transit since removing the app— their privacy measures didn't instill much confidence in me.
