I had the same reaction when I rode UberPool from the south bay into SF (a 45 minute ride) for just under $18, and nobody else pooled with me. How could this be fair to the drivers? So I asked the driver how much he was getting for the trip. I believe he said something like $50. Fortunately, he wasn't getting shortchanged. Later, someone pointed out to me that Lyft and Uber are aggressively competing right now. It se…
Quite the business model. I wonder if they really believe they're earning goodwill at the rate of an Andrew Jackson per ride?

#17I do not really like Uber. The company does shady stuff quite often but also their drivers seem to be bad. They do not care at all about traffic laws. Illegal u-turns, stop wherever they want, etc. I can't surely be the only one who experienced this?

Also, now there are not only bad taxis, but also bad Ubers!
I feel like there are a lot more Ubers in an area than there are cabs. So I will get annoyed more often by an Uber than a cab.
