Not really. It just gets lost in the paper work. So one dickwad (perhaps just didn't like him) can do things that end up being very expensive for the company. Not just in talent loss, but raw cash and law suits.

I just got one. For 5x less than a equivalent i whatever, with a longer battery life and every feature of the expensive phone. In fact i don't understand why people pay 5x more for .. well nothing extra. Oh and i can flash it to stock android as well.

You would think so wouldn't you. But alas. Even phrased explicitly like that and no. Still think if you can't afford it, you should go suck it.

It follows *ALL* taxi regulations in Berlin, Zurich, Vienna (taxis are soo regulated there, normal taxis are still in fact cheaper than Uber), Lausanne, Geneva. Your clearly just trolling cus you want us (passengers) to be paying a *lot* more, which is bad for a *lot* of people.

We have already established your a taxi driver that doesn't like the fact you can't over charge and extort your passengers anymore.What is your restriction? having to get a medallion? Ticked off because your in one of the groups that has been buying up all the medallions in NY city then extorting both drivers and passengers? And in many places i have been many of the taxis *are* uber drivers.

But you don't want it to be better for us do you. You want all our fucking money. Well eat shit and die. This certainly has nothing to do with what is good for the public.

Your a god dam taxi driver aren't you. No uber is good for a lot of people. Really a lot. It is a good, clean, safe and reliable service and it save people money. What is not good for is *you*. Cus you can't charge 3x more than the market will allow.

What the crap dude. Uber here, and the other 4 cites i have lived in follow the *same rules in terms of licence requirements and background checks* as taxis do.

Uber in all the cites i have lived in follow all the rules taxis need to follow. Same passenger licence requirement, same background checks. But are still 3x cheaper. So.. all this regulation is.. what are you talking about?

The main reason taxis are expensive is local monopolies. Typically the local government has a hand in the pie. It certainly has nothing to do with ensuring good taxi service, that is for sure. The expensive taxis here (about 2-3x as much as uber) provide a all round far worse service. In EVERY single respect.

Yes you are. Look at the payouts from class action lawsuits. You get, what $30 bucks back. Meanwhile the lawyers walk away with millions in "fees" cus well fees.

less than one banana!

In fact from many americains i know. And how the bulk seem to vote and act. It seams the attitude is "fuck the poor, let em die". Even from some of the poor!

If only this was the first post.

the TFA says "engineers" so it must be true.

Only in America. The lawyers are laughing all the way to bank.
