Uber is sketchy as fuck. Back when it first got going, it wasn’t legal to pick people up at PIT airport. There’s a special taxes permit that transports have to pay to do it and it was way too much for Uber to get one for every car. So instead they told their drivers to do it anyway and just try to stay on the downlow. If the driver got busted, Uber claimed they would take care of it. Who knows if they actually would.

They did shut like this in pretty much every city - break whatever laws are inconvenient until they’re so culturally ingrained that public outcry forces change to accommodate them.

This doesn’t even get into all the shit with manipulating their app.
