- JoeAltmaier 12y agoSurprised; I thought Uber was some sort of public-access ridesharing thing. If they vet drivers and license them, how is it different from any other cab service?
- smackfu 12y agoMainly because they don't actually license them unless the local authorities force them to. They do vet them, in theory. And to follow-on, the practical difference is that they are a lot less terrible than most existing cab / car services.
