Just take a taxi its cheaper. Uber/Lyft is a terrible business model.

I was in Philly for a concert with my friend last year and it was going to be $25 for a 1 mile ride to the concert venue. We walked instead. The only time I would use Uber now is from local bars because they have the free ride option where I live.

He said "wow" but then proceeded to justify it with "inflation" and "surge pricing" (despite no surge)

Also the company posted record profits, so yeah... Fuck him

Surely if I stick up for rich people on the Internet I'll eventually get a sweet job offer from them, right?

What makes Uber/Lyft not a taxi?

Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images.

Taxi medallions are worth over $200K, I think. No one individual is capable of buying them and any average person trying to buy into a portion are basically throwing their life savings at the hope of making it back. So Lyft is in a good place to challenge that but all the people who paid for taxi medallions already band together and get the Taxi and Limo
Commission to enforce regulations against gig drivers, forcing Lyft to charge significant markup to abide.

Which was the only time they were actually net positive, they should be forced to operate on a loss to provide a public service.
