Make sure the brakes are as ungodly loud and shitty sounding as possible; y’know, to “““save lives”””

How about DO NOT BE A SHITTY PARENT?

I’ll look around! Cheers buddy

Taxi drivers refused to deal with an app because it is the up front cash.
this is so damn stupid here. So only are they not earning themselves they are actively disrupting everyone elses day-to-day life and the entire city itself. Isn’t the actual opposite thing you want to try to portray to potential passengers?

So if…

I’m assuming it walks on water and gets punctures really easily?

Let me clarify. When I said “in the mobile-app ride sharing market”, I did not mean taxi services. I meant competitors like Lyft and Didi.

If cabs didn’t suck Uber, Cabify and Lyft wouldn’t be wildly successful. The cab drivers should be protesting the crushing regulations, not the apps which bypass them.

*raises hand* Me!  Me!  Me!  I’ll take it!!!

I’ve wondered this since ride sharing became a massive thing. Why would people waste time looking up/remembering a cab’s phone number and having to calculate how much their ride will cost based on per-mile charges when they can use an app on their phone to do all of that for them? That, combined with the possibility…

But...but...that would require them to work with their competitors, and then passengers could see the fare (or an estimated fare) up front. And passengers could compare different cab companies, and also know if they’re getting long-hauled. It also prevents the ‘ol “Credit card machine is broken” scam. Plus, it makes…

Hit the nail on the head. They’d lose even less than that and have a shot at getting a leg up on the market if they did choose to do everything you just said. NYC cabbies did something similar, actually.

the problem isn’t that uber/lyft came in with a better service (it did but that can be fought with updates to the cab companies software) it’s the fact that the cabs can’t be competitive because they are restricted by laws while uber/lyft are not Examples:
1. only X number of cabs allowed to be registered in the city…

But tech companies know how to analyze and exploit your financial data in a way that banks haven’t yet done, according to Bankrate. They can use your data to tailor other product offerings to your financial habits. They’re hoping to be a one-stop shop for consumers.

I’m all for letting priests marry but these men don’t rape children and teenagers because they can’t marry. If anything that would just lead to them having affairs with adults (which absolutely happens.)

Beer taps are what we really need.

Those of us who want a proper H-pattern manual gearbox and a clutch pedal want it for the feeling of connection to the machine and the driving experience. I for one don’t care if a dual-clutch automatic will shave a tenth or so off my 0-60 run and squeeze out another mpg on the EPA combined cycle. I wanna be involved…
