Goons..

Are you under the impression gypsy cabs didn't exist until six years ago?

It's doing well in the towns I have used it so far. No reason to ever use a taxi over uber/lyft/others. He used uber to get to know enough clients to drive them privately now which is what every driver should try to do.

You're right. This way, when you crash, not only will your insurance company refuse to fix your car and drop you, but you won't even get the protection of Uber's lovely liability coverage.

You get kicked from driving for going under 4.7 stars? Out of 5.0? The hell? I've taken Uber a handful of times and have always just given 3 stars if I even remember to rate them at all because what the hell 3 is average and that's how I feel about every ride I've gotten. I mean they've all taken me from point A to B and I don't really care if they're well dressed or offer me candy or anything like a lot of them do.

E: I've given a few 2s before too just because the guy just won't shut up and let me browse the Internet on my phone or play a game in peace. Oh well it's not my fault the rating system is so hosed up.

Are you joking? Do you also give neutral feedback on Ebay when a seller ships you something on time and in working condition? Giving anything less than a 5 out of 5 (or 10 out of 10, etc) to rate the exchange of goods or services has been giving a negative review for at least as long as the internet has existed.
