No matter what, I say go Uber! Uber-like services are desperately needed in countries like Turkey. Taxi monopoly has an impossible to break grip on the state. Many state officials own medallions that were granted more than 30 years ago and owners still obtaining substantial money from taxi drivers. They block Uber like systems immediately. They are above law. It is so ridiculous you have to live there to comprehend the scale of this utter BS.
- pier25 3y agoIn Mexico there are areas where taxi drivers are violent towards Uber cars and their passengers. It's a very common occurence in Cancún for example where taxi drivers are a mafia (literally, they are known to work with the narcos). It's so common, that in some cases taxi drivers have attacked non Uber cars by mistake.
