The title of this post is clickbait. Uber is not being shut down in India. The RBI rule requiring a one time pin for all online transactions is unwise, a huge barrier to good UX, and should be removed. Having said that, Uber is not being sh

JHH: Sorry you feel that way. We can't force drivers to accept a ride because they are not our employees, because they sometimes work with both us and another app, and because the real world intervenes to make 100 percent reliability i
