Uber....

Good for him!
 
Lol I tried doing über for a while. It's decent money at first, but it seemed like every person with a four door car was doing it. Started making less and less. Since then I've seen two videos of drivers being attacked and other stories of crap like this happening. im glad no one ever tried that shit in my car lol
 
Uber is Wal-Mart cab and all it does is circumvent rules and kill the local economy.

Their stance on it is as long as you are not in violation of your states laws on carrying a firearm in a vehicle then you are not in any violation of any of their rules. I questioned this when I started. No way was I going to be driving into random areas in Charlotte and not be armed. I actually denied a lot of pickups if they were in areas I knew to be trouble.

I think it is something the flat billers say. I can never follow it thought...I get lost in the reflection of their large white sun glasses.
 
Uber isnt legal in NC. the potential risk is a $500 fine, confiscation of your car and walking home with a misdemeanor. only a few drivers have actually been charged (at the raleigh airport). although, i believe there was some legislation passed recently that may have either lessened the penalty or legalized it in some form or fashion. i'll have to dig that up.

One cannot legally flag down an Uber cab in NC. That's hitchiking, you must you use the app. so that you have a reservation.

Uber circumvents the local caps on what can be charged in a traditional taxi. On high volume you nights you may see an increase of anywhere between 20%-200%. there are nightmare stories of $400 cab rides.

Uber drivers arent versed in local taxi laws, such as where one may or may not take on or recieve passengers. Your driver could be dumping you out into a dangerous traffic area....or not pulling out of traffic creating a road block. (also, putting the driver at risk of fines and citations)

I own a free taxi service. uber doesnt take anything away from my business. That being said, i dont like uber. the leadership has a total disregard for anyone outside of the board room, riders or drivers.
 
I own a legal cab company outside of Asheville and on busy night's they gouge the bell out of customers. I worked for them for 3 months when they first came here to learn about it. Got rid of me because I had cab insurance ? I asked if they had anyone that could read the insurance card I emailed them and if that was how they did background check. The insurance they have is some ride share b.s. that leaves them high and dry.Your drivers can be anyone from some clueless idoit to a serial killer. oh and they have all your credit card information at their site what could go wrong.
