Do you know the drivers float back-and-forth right no of course you don’t. It’s the same people you’re painting with that mile wide brush

Like a taxi? 🤷♂️
no checkpoints, but there’s a medallion riveted on the trunk. And mandatory call logs. And vehicle inspections. And annual records checks on the drivers, highway and criminal.
But do you. Save $3 here and $3 there, then pay an extra $50 at their whim.

Ah, it’s ‘all taxi drivers are thieves’ trope you’re all pussyfooting around. Used car salesmen too amirite.

Real taxis run 24/7/365 and the price never changes. Calls are taken chronologically. Theoretically you could wait forever for an Uber and then pay 100x the taxi fare. But whatever

I ran a taxi company for 22 years. There was nothing scummy about any of it. Your mileage appears to vary.
Real taxis have taxi plates. Thanks for the attitude though.
I’m sure you were a world class customer
Enjoy the surge pricing

Real taxis have razor thin margins and are at the mercy of the City. I can’t believe they even allow ‘ride sharing’ at all.

Reply to We all find it totally normal to see people sleeping in airport chairs but out on the street or in a park it is usually frowned upon by Life-Meal6635
If I just sit on the bench in from of our library, people driving by heckle and throw shit at me. The homeless hang out there during the day so it’s socially acceptable to harass anyone who uses the bench, anytime, for any reason. So yeah.
A few missing pay checks and anyone could be out here. Anyone at all.

Reply to You don’t see RVs get in a lot of accidents by Blinky_
Insurance premiums are the proof. My 27’ RV added only $36.00 per month to my contract. We drive them pretty slowly and cautiously and other drivers don’t want to fuck around and get flattened.

It’s amusing to me that ‘poo’ is so widely accepted. Even during my 8 month stay in the hospital, no one used any other term except poo. Even the surgeons.
