A few years ago I would have agreed with that, but I recently switched to Flywheel in SF because I was tired of the Uber drivers wandering around downtown's one-way streets for half an hour every time I hailed one of them because they don't know the city. I'm not exactly thrilled about going back to taxis, but at least they don't act like it's their first day behind the wheel. (And with Flywheel they can no longer lie and tell me their credit card machine is "broken"...)
- dantheman 11y agoDrivers not knowing the area, getting lost, etc are not restricted to Uber/Lyft - I've had many taxi rides in the US where the driver has no idea how to get places - in SF/NYC/LA/BOS/DC -- so not even restricted to 1 city.
- Kalium 11y agoI used Flywheel exactly once. It led to a driver taking an incredible series of wrong turns, wasting a bunch of my time, and me spending nearly double what I needed to. All because the driver took a lot of wrong turns, didn't know the area at all, and didn't rely on technology. In SF.
