In theory, the new functionality is cool and will help people be more productive. As a reasonably happy work customer, I'm quite excited to try these out. But I am not sure why they decided to rename it...again. Does no one at Google u

NYC is actually one of Uber's most important cities. Don't forget that NYC is more than just Manhattan below 125th street. Getting a taxi in the outer boroughs was miserable. The green ones help but were a little too late. The b
