Comment on Pick your poison. Dystopian style

I’d rather an illegal cab company doing things right because the ‘official’ unchecked cab company is corrupt doing illegal things and people finally got fed up with it. that shouldn’t have been a thing that needed to happen to get a safe and affordable enough ride anywhere. That is a sign of a broken system when the word ‘legal’ in application lost all relativity to who it was supposed to protect in that situation. Heck, I’d drop it from use in this case.

  Oh do you prefer the ‘legal’ cab company willfully taking you to a back alley to beat you down and feel untouchable because they are in some sort of union they feel protected by?

    I see you’re lacking enough knowledge of the cab vs uber events to be throwing your hat into the ring.

How is the illegal cab company doing things right? It’s clearly monopolistic and therefore anti-consumer.

  One cab driver blackmailed my friend for money to return a phone to her she left in the back seat. I’ve been physically threatened by cab drivers who think they are protected by a union which is clearly corrupt. I been left out in the cold with a busted ankle. They wouldn’t even call an ambulance for me.
  
  Haven’t run into that shitty behaviour not even once with Uber.
  
  Cabs are the mob.
  
  Up with Uber. Down with cabs.
