the other issue that Uber helped with in the beginning was mess with Mob controlled taxi cartels that used regulation as a shield that’s why service was so poor. By skating those laws it put some market presure to improve slightly. but now that they got so big it’s back to being cappy again and the mob has moved into that market as well now.
Hack the Planet! Hack the planet!
Sorry I have zero cool
Do you have a source for that?
Is it some niche thing or widespread?
maybe a niche thing to New York and is completely anecdotal from people i know but it’s more those same cab companies moving into the ride share market.
You mean the mob has moved into the Uber market?
yeah as in the same taxi companies and their drivers use the app as drivers on top of taxi rides.
So if you order an Uber they might show up in a taxi?
yeah or black towncar not all taxi companies are yellow with checkered stripes. they will have all the logos on the outside or in the window. Uber, Lift they run them all. They run fleets with exploited immigrants and take their cut just like the mob is known to do.
