Specifically for Uber, the proxy number will allow the driver to contact you until they get their next fare (or for 30 minutes) . There is no way for them to get your ACTUAL phone number. Taxi drivers are another story.

That makes me feel a bit better!
Speaking of normal taxis, I'm not a fan of the service. I think the level has deteriorated over the years.
Come on bro, you don't actually believe that your average uber driver is picking up hot girls and banging them right? Uber does a criminal check before hiring anybody so it's probably safer than getting on a Beck Taxi plus they have a rating system so I can only imagine that any girl who is even remotely close to sexually molested would report that driver and he'd be out of the job.

I wonder if Karygiannis would let his daughter ride in a city licenced cab based on this?
Or how about letting your daughter ride the TTC Jim?
Karygiannis likely has friends that own taxi plates, otherwise he would not be so blind and obstinately opposed to Uber.
These dinosaurs are going to become extinct if they think the world is going to freeze time in the 1950's taxi industry model.

I agree. Though it puts a lie to Uber claims that their screening system is better than the current taxi regime. And it's opponents will use this to their advantage. The head of the taxi union. Was saying just last week he hoped that nothing bad would happen to an Uber passenger.
Yeah, I'm sure he was just all broken up about it.
I wonder how much the taxi association paid the Uber driver?
From what more than a few girls have told me how so many times greezy taxi drivers have come on to them or made very inappropriate sexual remarks, they would be outed and out of Uber in one or two reviews.
Not so with complaints to the taxi company or Licensing short of a criminal conviction for rape.
The big difference is that ONE or two bad reviews on Uber can effectively remove a driver from Uber. Not so with taxi's.
Based on that, instead of the cab companies resorting to scare tactics and tying up traffic, maybe they should up their game to compete against Uber. They're coming off as whinny little babies!
Thanks for the image. Uber us much safer than traditional taxis. On top of better safety snd inbuilt quality control, uber rides costs less.
because all we need now is unmarked cars tying up traffic. or doing all kinds of illegal road maneuvers to catch a fair. sounds like heaven.
Taxi companies are screwed - the cab drivers are unionized and WAY too powerful. Thats why many taxi drivers can get away with being douchnozzles with very few repercussions. I, for one, am glad that Uber has come out and demonstrated how much better things could be.
This is where the inbuilt quality control comes in handy with regard to real-time reviews and 24/7 support. You will have LESS of these problems with uber than you do with cabs.
