Interesting - I've only been using Uber for ~2 years now but I came across it from the opposite direction. I couldn't afford them until UberX came out. I took an UberX last night and the driver didn't know the cross street in Harlem I told him to go to. He insisted on me finding the street address and putting it in the app so that GPS could guide him. Then he asked for five stars before I left. His car had random water bottles in the back seat.
But none of that bothered me.
I want to get to point B from point A - that 15 minute user experience isn't really important to me. So all I care about is cost and, atleast here in NYC, UberX can sometimes be cheaper than a yellow cab.
Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
- kaolinite 11y agoThat's fair enough. I certainly couldn't afford to use UberLux every day but I only rarely get taxis (maybe a few times a month) so I'd rather pay for a premium service when I do. A perfect situation I feel would be if Lyft concentrated on the affordable end and Uber went high end. Immediately, there'd be no more Lyft vs Uber nonsense and Lyft would get all of the aggression from the taxi industry instead of Uber, as Uber would no longer really be competing with taxis.
