Uber are not doing themselves any favours the last year or so, wow. Rather than sling words against a company that is already doing a great job at hurting their own image, there are tonnes of decent competitors in the ride sharing space that offer the same kind of service, if not better than what Uber are offering. I recently tried out Lyft for the first time here in Seattle and I must say, it was a much more pleasant experience than I had previously had in my numerous Uber rides. Do not get me wrong, I have not had completely terrible Uber rides, but I have run into instances where Uber drivers have claimed to know shortcuts to get somewhere, only to find themselves lost all while the meter is running on quite a few occasions, I vote with my driver rating, but still. Other reasons to use an alternative to Uber like Lyft is the fact the Lyft app lets you give a driver a tip. Too many times I have been in a situation where I had no cash to tip an Uber driver who helped me carry heavy luggage or items because the app lacks a tip feature. I am not one for jumping on bandwagons, but I really do not like the kind of leadership and image Uber are portraying, not to mention the questionable business practices that were revealed a little while ago. The power of choice is the strongest message we can send Uber that they need to grow up and be a real business. Vote by choosing an alternative if this bothers you like it bothers me.
