There are precisely two reasons to get mad about uber:
1) you're a cabbie
2) you're a concern trolling edgelord

do you think the laws and regulations concerning the cab business just came about for no reason and arbitrarily inflate the price of having your own temp chauffeur or what? Like you realize the reason these app services are cheaper is because they tried to circumvent decades worth of policies for worker's rights and passenger safety right.

e: also because they're operating at a temporary loss and will invariably just crank up prices if/when they succeed in becoming monopolies in their area. You have to be incredibly shortsighted and naive to think uber is a good longterm idea.

Why is the sun always bullying me?

funny how every cab driver's credit card machine is "down" until you insist on trying to pay that way, and then it magically works!

I use Uber because they show up on time and I don't have to use cash, I wouldn't mind paying the same rate as a taxi for the service.
