France made me pro-Uber. The taxis in Paris are arrogant, entitled and even bullies. I've seen them smoke in the car, refuse to turn down the radio, and other shenanigans. Not to mention they're often not around when you need them.
Maybe Big Taxi needed a shakeup worldwide.
Although the other day I sat in sick in a Lyft before work, and I ended up getting only 5 dollars credit for the privilege of smelling all day around people.
- Semaphor 4y agoIt very much depends. In South Africa? I’ll take an Uber every time, those cabs are scary. In Germany? Even if Uber existed, I’d take a cab.
- croes 4y agoThis shakeup hits the drivers the hardest.
- Ekaros 4y agoAnd why should you get to decide what they do in their work place? Isn't that infinite entitlement?
- Consultant32452 4y agoI don't get to decide what they do in their work place, but I do get to decide to opt for their competition that provides a more pleasant experience.
- scatters 4y agoTheir workplace is the public street. Of course we should get to decide how they operate.

Not to mention they're often not around when you need them. I'm… speechless… Can I ask how often and during which time period you took the Taxi in Paris? I've never had or even heard of such experience, I always had the same quality of service of Taxi in Paris as in Germany. (= very good quality) I'll admit that I just take it twice a year when I go visit my aunt. But my brother lived for 7 years in Paris in the 2000s, and I've never heard him complain outside of the price. I'm genuinely surprised by what you're saying (Yes I am a native french speaker), if you didn't have such a good comment history I would have assumed you were an Uber comment farm account.
- mancerayder 4y agoI'm also a native speaker. My family also despises the taxis and they've dealt with them their whole lives.
- epistasis 4y agoIn the US, taxis are one of the few types of business that are even less ethical than Uber. They are a necessary service, or Uber is, but I don't know what about it makes people so dishonest.
