Drivers are currently making like $12-$14/hr, so…yup. And Uber will just deny my cleaning fee when someone vomits, soooo…yup. Not accepting that shit in my car and paying out of pocket to clean it after midnight, having to drag an unconscious stranger out of my car, etc.

Best case scenario : uber loses so much businesses that the taxi companies can roll out a unified ride hailing app and pay drivers decently.

  There are plenty of Uber drivers in SF getting fucked and the CEO’s address is public record. 🤞

  All they need is a decent app and I’m back to cabs.

    Taxis feel so much more expensive, but it’s cause theyre licenced, regulated, and better paid
    
    I walk everywhere, and take public transport as a treat when it rains

    I really think this is it. Calling for a cab was an effort. pushing a button in an app that says, “I need a cab here” was the secret sauce Uber provided. That’s old news now. They also had a benefit of pricing while they had VC, but that’s evaporating.
    
    For the record, I don’t uber or equivalent. I either am or find a DD or “rideshare” with friends and family.
    
    I haven’t used them, but there are taxi apps that seem to hook into the less-predatory transport businesses. Pricing may not be as competitive, but that comes with the drivers earning a stable wage.
