Uber Shutting down in Cali

[FaTaL]

nope

Lyft joins Uber in threatening to pull out of California over driver status

Interesting, bluffing or not?

I mean you have 2 companies, yet to turn a profit, that are forced to compete. Uber can't set the prices they'd need to thrive as a company, because their customers will turn to Lyft.

They probably need to bite off 4-5$ for that initial fee. Either that or they lower our profits and then we're out

I genuinely think they may be spread too thin
That’s the issue of these companies tied to the stock market
After innovations ,it’s growth and then utter destruction. Yeah I see they want to extend their range as far as possible All over the country and beyond but that makes no sense if you’ve been losing money the whole time. If these companies were more regional they’d probably have better prices and such but idk this economy gone to shyt

Shut down in the 5th largest economy in the world because you dont want to treat your drivers as employees

that's the walmart principle of operation. if a town or city unionize the whole province/state is not getting a walmart.

Last time I was in a cab was 2013. The Indian pestered me about “did I have the money to pay”, pooted in the car and it cost like $40 for a 15 minute ride.

no thank you

I took pleasure in the demise of the cab industry because of their attitude....same goes for those Nigerians

Would Walmart leave Cali though? Cali ain’t New Mexico

This is a tough situation but I can guarantee that majority that do drive uber would rather be what it is (maybe increase the wages) than care about all this extra shyt. Some ppl live on this and having it completely gone will fukk them up economically

lyft and uber are right.

fukk Cali for their horrible anti-business climate.

cabs companies never gave employees benefits. Not sure why cali feels Uber and Lyft need to.

Repost:

A few years ago, an Uber driver charged me $50 for leaving "excessive soil on the vehicle floor". Of course I needed receipts so I told her to send me a picture.

I got the pic and there were only 2 strands of grass on the floor and I wasn't even SITTING ON THAT SIDE.

Took almost 2 months of going back and forth with them to get my money back. So since then, I've been like "Fukk Uber"

Youre an idiot. Uber almost always sides with the customer. Im certain you soiled the vehicle with your dirty ass.

I think brehs shytting on Uber and Lyft may not be old enough to remember what it was like being black and trying to catch a cab. I'll support Uber, Lyft, or whatever the hell else shows up because at least with them my black ass could actually get a ride.

fukk cabs.

Ethiopians ran the cab game in Atlanta and fukk all of them.

i get you, but they are hiding under the guise of ride sharing apps.

uber can stay in business, but make them actually follow regulations as cab services, they just a cab service with an app at this point, but skirting all the regulations.

the fact they want to shut down under some minor regulatory shyt, should show you that it's bullshyt.

Except that would cost more money imagine now being responsible for say medical benefits or workman’s comp

my dad ran his own cab service during his retirement... got put out of business when uber/lyft came thru and under cut him.

fukk them. those companies are anti-business.

so they can't afford to do business, then they shouldn't be in business.

their goal was never to create jobs for drivers, it was to stay in business long enough to have auto driving cars and pay no one.

you keep falling for the AI tech bros scheme, every time.

When people see cab drivers going crazy and some commiting dat due to financial ruin and their reaction is then maybe the cab companies shouldn't have been in business either.
