Jesus Christ. It was a brand new car too, still smelled like new. This is come next level Premium fucking service I just got, no wonder taxis are going out of business. So my question is, why does uber get all the fucking hate it gets from Sup Forums?
Also, post some more uber experiences whether good or bad.
forgot to mention that all this for the low price of 8 fucking dollars.

>>super friendly and doesn't even beg for 5 starts rating at the end of the ride I hope you gave him one. Good service is hard to find. As a person in customer service, i bet he appreciated your good attitude as much as you appreciated his.

I use lyft but same shit and same drivers. I love it. There are periods where I have to use it a lot due to staying late at work and it's just so damn cheap and convenient. My city council almost essentially banned lyft/uber, fuck these old bitches that don't understand the change of technology

Jaxon Howard
It's give or take, depends on how nice your area is since the people working there actually live there.
California has some really good ones, and some really really bad ones.
>Coming back from Anaheim >get picked up buy this old, dusty eastern European man >about 1 in the morning so we said fuck it and got in >friends exhausted so they fall asleep, leaving me in the middle seat crushed >start to doze off as we come off the freeway >man proceeds to run 3 red lights in quick succession, nearly avoiding getting t-boned by a truck
needless to say I was shitting bricks the whole time
Josiah Parker
This is not a business board.
Daniel Kelly
It's similar to a taxi service, only instead of a taxi cab, drivers use their own personal cars. Pretty sure that any regular jackoff could be an Uber driver for a weekend if they wanted to be.
Die uber shill. Uber is the worst company in the world.
Isaiah Cruz
>falling for the mobile Jew
You know why this guy was so nice and accomodating? Because if he isn't, he can instantly lose his job, as there is absolutely no safety net. Do you really think work should look like that - shit pay with no security, while billionaires make bank? Do you really want your travel schedules to be data mined and sold? And I thought Sup Forums wants to make America great again.
A service where regular people basically use their own cars as taxis.
It's not like this is a real political board either.

Its not a job, its self employment. Uber isn't a company you work for, its a platform used by independent contractors (the drivers) to get business from customers (riders).
Camden Johnson
>why does uber get all the fucking hate it gets from Sup Forums? Doesn't pay taxes Ignores all local regulation Funded by goldman sachs, silicon valley, Saudi Arabia Expoilts its workforce(drivers earn below minium wage, work 70 hours+ a week) Drivers don't use correct insurance many of their drivers being convicted criminals many of their drivers have been charged with sexual assault/rape of riders
>t. ahmed mujaheddin, no that would be all the uber drivers in London. Black cab drivers are 90%+ white working class.

i had some indian guy who spoke chinese and he had water in the backseat for me too. nice lad but had to listen to him talk about these movies hes making about a muslim guy and christain woman cheating on eachother a different country from their own. went quiet after he started talking about this
Elijah Foster
>all those muslim refugees driving for uber >many women literally freak out when don't understand accent I've heard stories when the driver had to pull over and explain to a female customer that he is not a rapist lol.
Landon Perez
Well duh it's Anaheim, you don't stop at red lights in the middle of the night or you will get killed
Levi Thomas
>he fell for the free market meme
This is the official story, so Uber can treat the drivers like shit and skirt all labor laws.
This. Also I would add it massively mines data of the riders, there were already some scandals.
Your rejection of the material in the article looks retarded.
Austin Barnes
Ey how aboot you LEAF him alone.

Its almost like their strategy to undercut all their competitors is so it can increase its market share till it gains a monopoly and then its raise prices once there are no competitors left.

Feels good.
Julian Martinez
your link is gay ... like really gay annon nothing but false rape claims and women shit. It was painful to read i was expecting missing persons and dead people yet only one 6 year old died due to bad driving the rest were women being sluts and then later complaining.
>so and so raped me but he was found innocent >so and so fondled me but he was found innocent >so and so took too long to get me home so my ride was refunded
i mean we all saw what happens when you put indian women in ubers they are a nightmare thank god that women got her life destroyed she was a total bitch. So it looks like the only problem with uber is bitches.
Samuel Bailey
>Drivers don't use correct insurance Oh, and of course the article was written in 2014, before the six murders by an Uber driver earlier this year. If nothing else, it seems that Uber needs to work on its hiring standards.
Julian Turner
>act like a huehue and expecting to be treated like a human Fuck you subhuman

Everyone who shitposts about uber is a former or current taxi driver.
The only thing about uber that really sucks is the outrageous so-called "Surge Pricing" aka literally jewishness.
Other than that its a free market solution to the cancer of the cab industry.
I met a cab driver the other day. He referred to ubers as gypsy and he hated them with a passion. They ruined his life. Fucking kek.

Wish London cabbies would do this.
No that's how a scam works, once drivers work out they are earning below minimum wage they leave. Uber has a ridiculous high turnover of staff for a reason.
Thomas Roberts
Shouldn't have charged 10 bucks to get a few blocks away, faggot.
Taxis are overpriced shit. Glad they're dying.
I look up a taxi fare from Narita Airport to downtown tokyo the other day, and it was 200 and something fucking dollars.
Meanwhile, the fuel you would use driving there yourself in a car wouldn't even scratch 10.
Taxis are dying and good riddance.

Cabbies are literally doing nothing to compete. They're still incompetent, still rude, still can't speak the language, still don't know the city, still can't drive properly, still have dirty fucking cars... They just want some communistic monopoly, without earning it.
Fuck em.

Dominic Harris
I don't get to decide what fucking price I'll put on, you fucking cunt. I've been working as a taxi driver for years already, way before this uber faggotry started.
You people are pathetic, never had to work a day in you life and think you vomit your opinions about the real world in your mom's basement. I don't like a ton of the policies here, but I won't flee to uber after so long because they pay better.
Right now if the company lowered the price as much as possible, uber would STILL be cheaper, simply because they pay nowhere near as much taxes as we do. We went to the government so they'd fix this mess, and first they prohibited it, just to later on make it free-for-all because of public and uber pressure.
Of course you free market faggots don't understand how it's like to lose your job for something with no regulation at all, you live off your parents. It's pathetic how liberal your people sound right now.
>I'd never let niggers cuck me! >WOW, why won't you let uber cuck you out of a job?

Cab medallions cost like $300k a pop here They hire dirt poor immigrants and pay them shit and rip them off UBER requires rheir drivers to have their own insurance. Can UBER drivers drive cars that aren't leased to own? Gwnuine question. Point is the old system is cronyism, the new system is sketchy and lacks oversight.
But to answer your question, cab companies hire poor immigrants and treat them like shit, so that's probably why Sup Forums doesn't like them
Justin Jackson
Taxis have a monopoly? Or municipal governments have a monopoly with high entry barriers that few taxi companies can afford? I don't know about your city but mine doesn't have a taxi monopoly but a high regulated system focused on consumer protection. Something Uber seems determined to undermine at every opportunity.
Chase Martinez
HUEHUEHUE some more faggot

Anaheim isnt bad bro, I live there.
Tyler Fisher
My car has a coolant leak and is not drivable. I had a dental appointment a 20 minute drive away and I figured I would uber.
First Uber I got was an old man who talked about the vietnam war. Later we talked about Muhammad Ali and how he saw one of his first fights on television. The second driver driving me home was this cool hispanic dude from El Salvador. I told him I like to smoke and drink and we started talking about old times smoking, drinking, doing coke n shit. Cool guy.
The old man was a sketchy driver, and the other guy was a really good driver. Overall good experience with uber so far. Their fares are definitely more bang for your buck compared to taxi cabs.
Jonathan Sanders
No they have to own their cars, otherwise they can buy it from them, but from what I hear, that's a terrible idea.
Julian Wilson
Why dont taxi drivers just join uber if they're so butthurt?
At this point what benefit is there for being a cabby?
Aiden Brown
>what are medallions Good question. What are medallions? Are they permits issued, regulated, and enforced by taxis or by the city? Why are medallions required?
Because cities don't want too many for-hire vehicles on the roads at the same time based upon the city's population?
Dylan Gomez
Nice retort. You work for Uber or do suck their cock for free. >They don't pay taxes, because they don't make any profit. The fact you try and say they do proves you're a shill >It does ignore local regulation, for example in London the use a meter which is illegal, don't have access for wheel chair uses which is illegal >so you agree its a corporation funded by the most immoral organisations >It does exploit its work force, the fact you say all its workforce is happy makes me think you work for Uber. Not 1 company on this planet are all its employees happy. Didn't correct me about the minimum wage part though. :) >Many examples about them not using correct insurance look it up.They only get caught when they crash. so how many do think do it that haven't crashed yet. >Many examples worldwide of their employees being convicted criminals, look it up >Also many examples of their drivers being charged with sexual assault/rape of riders, google it faggot.

Same in London and its the government that enforces this policy not the drivers. But allow Uber to operate without prosecution for them using a meter which is illegal in London unless a black cab
