No. The can industry still sucks ass today, even with the apps. They are all independent with little accountability. Uber fixed that and forced those fuckers out of their service. Uber is just a flat out better service.
Uber, even today has a FAR higher success rate with my personally. Even two weeks ago I had a driver telling me his card reader wasn’t working until it magically did when I started threatening to simply not pay and walk away. This has happened to me multiple times even with my reduced cab rate.
The worst I’ve ever dealt with in Uber is waiting and cancelled pickup despite using it far more often.
The problem isn’t the user experience, same as with Amazon, it’s the abusive relationship the company has with its employees. That it deliberately tries to avoid labor laws that protect workers via legal technicalities.
All of you pre Uber zealots are adorably naive. The cab industry is scum.
replacing scum with even scummier scum? like, taxis were bad but they were fucking regulated.

Uber needed a HUGE pool of labor to draw on for its success, traditional cab companies couldn’t handle it even if they weren’t fucking scummy.
I hate Uber but I’m not crying for the cab industry. Fuck those guys too.

Agreed.

Uber is also scum tho. Seems there’s always going to be something dodgy about getting into cars with random strangers.
