Absolutely disagree. Right now I am in a major german city, and I can get an Uber ride in exactly 6 minutes. Perfect service, everything is done through the app, I don't even need to speak german.
Last time I got a regular cab, I waited 30 minutes for a middle-eastern guy who did not speak a word in english and tried to rip me off since I'm a foreigner. It's even worse in my country - Poland - where taxi drivers can very well be considered gangs, fighting for territories and being involved in illegal activities.
They are absolutely not "same old taxi drivers and motel owners", is the point I am trying to make here.
- msoad 12y agoI just spoke about price. BTW mentioning ethnicity of the taxi driver wasn't necessary.
- slowmotiony 12y agoIf he was Polish or Irish I would mention it also. Lay off me with the PC bullshit please, I was being descriptive.
- linuskendall 12y agoNo, you were being racist.
- logicchains 12y agoWould you then argue that if a specific racial group were statistically much more likely to offer poor taxi service in a particular country, this fact should not be disseminated as it would constitute racism? Or do you consider it racism because you believe he was making an unfounded generalisation, implying that all middle-eastern taxi drivers were unreliable when in fact he only had a sample size of one?
- CalRobert 12y agoAber jetzt sie können Deutsch übung! Really, though, I know it's awesome that the world (mostly) speaks at least some English, but it's hard to knock somebody living in Germany for not speaking it.
- slowmotiony 12y agoMein Deutsch ist nicht so gut, aber auch nicht so schlecht! I am not knocking anyone. I was describing a rusty, not customer-friendly business model of the old cab companies compared to the service Uber gets me.
