These so called “ride-sharing” mega-corporations are TAXICABS.
Why treat them any differently ?
Make the follow same laws and regulations as taxicabs.
Enough of this preferential treatment for an otherwise criminal
app multibillion dollar criminality.
Totally agree. They are conning people by calling it “ride sharing” when in reality it is a car for hire. Also, the insurance coverage they have is surplus lines – which does not contribute to any of the Guaranty Funds. Can just see insureds with accident claims in a state get stuck once the risky surplus lines company goes under.
Additionally these companies do not serve “desert” areas of my city… those part-time drivers are not going into the “low income” areas. Uber raises its rates for big events to soak the passengers (especially out of towners) while taxis have their rates regulated by local authorities. They do not have safety inspections, cleanliness inspections, CPR training, drug tests, etc., etc. Uber is a group of venture capitalists rushing to take that “ride sharing” company public asap so they can cash out their shares and the public be damned.
