[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 4 days ago (2 children) Best case scenario : uber loses so much businesses that the taxi companies can roll out a unified ride hailing app and pay drivers decently. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago There are plenty of Uber drivers in SF getting fucked and the CEO's address is public record. 🤞 permalink fedilink source parent [–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 6 points 4 days ago (2 children) All they need is a decent app and I'm back to cabs. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 days ago 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 permalink fedilink source parent [–] korazail@eviltoast.org 3 points 4 days ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent
