- viola11 11y agoBut isn't ũbers thing is that they are not taxis? Supposedly this has great benefits for Uber and nebulous consequences for their drivers.
- CPLX 11y agoThere are two main kinds of for-hire cars on NYC streets. Taxis, which are marked with stuff all over them, and "car service" cars which look like any other car, but have license plates that start with the letter T and end with the letter C. This conversation is about the latter kind, cars that don't look like taxis. (yes I am aware that there is now option three with the green cabs but it's not really relevant to this discussion)
