Uber/Lyft took off because they were MUCH cheaper than taxis for a while - plus taxi drivers kind of gave themselves a bad reputation. Seems we've come full circle.
- MuffinFlavored 7y ago> plus taxi drivers kind of gave themselves a bad reputation. I think it is usually "people who can afford to go into a taxi do not like mingling with people who are only worth a taxi driver's salary". I don't think most would say many positive things about a person that is only worth $x/hr on the economic market (where $x/hr is a taxi driver's average wages). Whether it is due to lack of education / opportunity, I do not know.
