And customers. There's really no upside to Uber. The only reason anyone ever used it was because it was a cheap cab. Increasingly that's no longer true -- and you have to wait 15-20 minutes sometimes to get a driver. With that I might as well walk or take a cab.
- dnautics 5y agoThis is not entirely true. In the early days of Lyft in the lgbt community it was seen as a much safer alternative to taxis. Anyone who was ok with wearing a giant punk mustache on their car was pretty likely to be okay with nontraditional lifestyles, plus the rating system weeded out a lot of bad apples, versus taxi drivers who were largely immigrants from more socially conservative places, likely to harass you or worse.
