Oh yeah, I don’t think either are great, but at least Uber didn’t require drivers to submit to some crazy legal Ponzi scheme while paying for special driver’s licenses and competing with other drivers for the good shifts on a shared taxi licence. The Taxi mafia lobbied my city pretty hard and now Ubers get the opportunity to lose money to a middle man too! I’ve seen a bunch of taxis straight up also driving for Uber throughout the city.

Got_Bent@lemmy.world 4 months agoTo the immigrant thing - I was on vacation a few weeks ago and took five Uber rides. None of the drivers spoke English. I wonder if ride sharing is going the immigrant predator route these days.
For clarification, it didn’t bother me to have non-English speaking drivers. They were all great.

90% of Uber drivers for me were immigrants. Its normal to me.
