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.
