Working as intended?

I’ve paid friends for rides in baked goods, but I did not hail them with a ride sharing service

Sorry Simon_Clift but just to get in a Taxi from LAX is 19.00$ plus mileage. So whatever math your comments are based on is nonexistent! It seems we live in a world in which it’s acceptable to make up your own facts! Sad really

Well rideshare was a great idea until capitalism got a hold of it.

Yeah, I haven’t touched an Uber since the sexism scandal reared up. Dicks.

These firms are playing massive economic games, but render themselves thoroughly vulnerable to smaller, local and reliable firms. I use one to go to the airport and back with my (little) kids, and they’re a real pleasure. 25% more, but fuck Uber. I ride in style and ease.

Self-driving cars are going to destroy the Ubers of the world. It’s that simple.

They’ll be too busy destroying mailboxes and old ladies with walkers.

It’s articles like this that make me happy that my city (Munich, Germany) never let Uber do business. It’s outright forbidden except for Uber Black, and even that isn’t working out for them. Socialism has its benefits, which is why this expatriate is remaining an expatriate.

Luckily for them, the rideshare companies…

Stop it.
Charging money for a service is not ‘sharing’ - stop calling them “ridesharing.”
I thought this had been hashed out already.
