... and people kept using Uber.
- insane_dreamer 10mo agoUber and Lyft put all the taxis out of business and now cost as much as the taxis they displaced
- signatoremo 10mo agoEver notice that even where Uber doesn’t operate most of ride sharing alternatives work pretty much the same way? Go to South Asia, China, Middle East, or South East Asia. Consumers pick those services because of what Uber pioneered — trust and convenience. You know exactly how much you pay, you pay everything upfront, you know you are dropped off where you need to be. There are of course exceptions, but exceptions they are. Cost maybe the initial selling point but people stick with Uber and similar services despite higher cost, not because they don’t have other options.
- zaphirplane 10mo ago> because of what Uber pioneered — trust I really dislike the retro fitting of history. I’ve read more occurrences of serious SA by uber drivers and zero for normal taxi in the last few years
- wojciii 10mo agoNot everywhere. Here the government fucked Uber etc. big time because it required the companies to pay for taxi licenses if I remember correctly. That is if they want to deliver a taxi service.
