ubber drivers

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.

Yup. Uber drivers aren't competing against each other for fares or rushing to busy venues to pick up rides. So most of those complaints don't apply to Uber drivers.

Uber drivers DO annoy me in that since they have dedicated riders, very often those civilian cars stopped in the driving lane closest to the sidewalks blocking traffic or bike lanes are Uber cars waiting for their rides to come out. That is annoying. But cabs do the same, and in many other respects, Uber is superior. And definitely safer.
 
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.


So the MARKED taxicabs that pull u-turns to catch a fare are ok?

BTW, your argument is fundamentally flawed as only ONE nearby Uber drivers is dispatched, by an App and the only urgency is who accepts the fare on their smartphone. After that acceptance, any other Uber drivers are blocked. Unlike with radio-dispatched cabs where nearby cabbies know where the fare is and can rush over to "scoop" the fare just by hearing the call on the radio.

Sorry Mr. Taxi Plate Owner, but you better get over your last gasp whining and get with the program!

I did not know that about uber.

I don't like taxi's either, that was my inferred comparison to bad driving.

Fair enough, nice to see that information can change people's minds. Usually, when someone is so strongly entrenched they don't want to hear anything contrary.

Über will up the game for taxis and the net winer will be the consumer

The consumer will also be a net winner! :D
 
Uber should be allowed or banned based on the law or merits. Not on one random act by a driver. School teachers are regularly found to be sexually inappropriate with kids, are schools now unsafe? Do we view every teacher as a sexual predator?

Please, please, please delete this comment ASAP. The anti-teacher crusaders will convert this into another 50 page pile of venom against teachers and how 98% of them sexually assault their students.
 
Uber said it, so it must be true.

Never mind the people who have actually been through the process, who have said very clearly that what Uber is claiming is simply not true.

But it's on the internet, so Uber must be telling the truth.

Idiots.

So you say someone else says something... so this must be true also?

Do you think we are idiots?

Please tell us what we are missing out on in the Big Uber Lie.

Uber is a huge conspiracy. The truth needs to be uncovered. Anynym is on the case.

I've used uber and know drivers. All the informations seems legit to me. Do you know something otherwise? Step up and say so. Otherwise I'd have to believe that you do indeed have a dog in this fight.

How is that going to happen, a driver accepts a fare and goes and pick them up. You cannot hail an uber car on the side of the road like a taxi. Gotta use the app.
 
I know that Uber drivers definitely rate their passengers. If someone has a low rating they won't come to pick you up or it will take longer than usual. I am probably pretty certain they may bone some of their passengers.. believe it or not ive had more cab drivers hit on my gay guy friends and ask them to stay behind to get a little action lol

Not that there's anything wrong with that....but sounds like one more reason to call Uber.

I would say that the same could be said for either an Uber driver, or a cab driver, no?
