Well I agree, I use Uber and I love it. In FTL it is less than half the fare as a cab. I've never waited more than 5 min. (cab wait time here, if they come at all is about 15 min). All the cars come as advertised. Clean, neat, and very presentable, and I've never had a bad driver to date. I went to a restaurant the other night, and I took Uber. It was pouring rain and I had planned on consuming a nice bottle of merlot or two. My Uber actually came faster than my friends cars in valet. The ride home...$7.
My question to quoththeraven was, would she use Uber considering her feelings about it's business model, because I resisted using them for several years for the same reason. In the end, the convenience far outweighed my negative feelings about the company. I got an email from them today. Apparently they are tweaking they're operation to answer complaints by the drivers. Every driver I have talked to, loved driving for them. More pluses than minuses...Nothing is perfect.
