[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are you? I’m 40 and hesitant with Ubers, I grew up taking cabs and both grandfathers drove cabs. Cabs were regulated.

Uber you are essentially trusting a random person who may have a significant criminal history to get you from point a to be without direct oversight and management.[/quote]

I feel the exact opposite. I feel unsafe getting in sketchy taxis. Ubers are tracked and there's a record of who I am and where they're taking me. I also like knowing the cost up front. Even in DC I've had taxi drivers shake me down for more money, or refuse to drive across the bridge to VA even after they took my fare (it's been a decade for that last one though).[/quote]

PP here. I will say cabs have gone way done hill as Uber as eviscerated their business.

My preference is actually to use Uber Black.  It’s pricey, but they are supposed to be licensed livery drivers, who are basically working off the clock. I think Uber corporate clients use that service, so there is a bit more oversight and way less likely to smell like weed. [/quote]
