Do you even live in London? I love when people talk about a whole city in general terms like they can speak for millions of people.
Well get this, I live in London and I love Uber and I would definitely miss Uber if they stopped operating here. So your statement is wrong. In fact, our general slack channel at work had a ton of people posting sad faces about this news. But yeah sure I guess you know what every Londoner thinks...
- 98Windows 7y agoI live in London, there are plenty of alternatives to Uber, the only downside is they might be like 5-10% more expensive
- tolqen 7y agoWhat you said was correct a year ago but Kapten and Bolt exist now, they’re often the same fare or cheaper than Uber.
- user5994461 7y agoBolt is funded by Chinese money. They're heavily subsidizing rides with that money to capture some of the market and they will have to raise prices eventually.
- toomuchtodo 7y agoUber is funded by Saudi money, same deal.
- user5994461 7y agoUber is not free, it's way past the free stage. I saw few acquaintances trying Bolt (in London) and the main argument is the first rides are free, then the next rides are free too if you refer a friend.
- toomuchtodo 7y agoWhile not free, VC funds are still subsidizing Uber rides and driver incentives.
- Traster 7y agoYes, thanks I do "even live in London". In fact, I've lived in and around London all my life. Uber is fine, it's about as great as any of the other identical apps, and frankly, is far worse than being familiar with the local public transport 99% of the time inside London.
