Who Has Done An Uber?

Does it work? Do you feel that you are undercutting the livery drivers? My husband has to go to the airport midday tomorrow for a flight. An uber is much cheaper than a taxi and somehow less frightening to me...

I take Uber when I'm late or otherwise in a jam.

Depending on the time of day they can be much pricier than taxis. (price surges during bad weather, early morning hrs, peak travel times.) So just cuz its cheaper right now don't mean it will be depending when he has to go to the airport ...

Uber drivers do not have medallions, so they may be psychopaths. actually regular taxi drivers with medallions may be psychopaths anyway. so ...

I've never had a bad experience. (Taken it like 10-12 times in my life.)

Google is working on an Uber-like taxi service that utilizes self-driving cars. No uncomfortable conversations, no uncomfortable silence, and proven to be safer than an actual human driving a car.

 

The future is bright for us all, friends.

Not brighter for the drivers or their families when they lose thier income. Plus the Google taxi will probably data mine you so then the next time you use them they send a car painted with your favorite color, playing your favorite genre of music, and smelling like your favoriet sent.  No thank you.

 

I will stick with the real people.

The title of this thread reminds me of my boss who says things like "I have my own Google", meaning a web site, or "A few years ago I got my first Google", meaning a review of his business on Yelp. Or, "if you sign up for an account you can log on to your own personal Google", meaning a personal profile page.

 

Sometimes I have trouble working here...
