i think young people prefer uber/lyft cuz taxis are seen as archaic and dusty. But damn if uber is going to be a hassle, I'd rather call Armen or Ahmed the taxi man to scoop this bytch up.

too high to drive at 3 am and this bytch lives in a messican hood 30 mins away
Ain’t nobody going in New Mexican hood at 3am faggit :mjlol: :gucci: Get your fat ass up and go get her

Sounds like you live in a rough neighborhood and I don’t blame them for cancelling. We’ve had an uptick (my favorite word) in Uber/lyft drivers being robbed and assaulted. One man was put in his trunk. I’d have fear too.

I always ask drivers who are open to talk about what jackmoves are trending lol...

A guy was telling me how people would steal a phone, start a new account, order a pickup for a friend in a good neighborhood, have that friend carjack the driver, then pick up and rob people using the uber drivers account and car before dipping out to start it up elsewhere :mjlol: said DC cops see that shyt start to play out and just give up in advance

Wow that’s awful. Companies will just stop offering services to certain neighborhoods, period. Zip code discrimination is already a thing and will get worse.

i've heard taxi drivers were :mjpls: but I haven't had any issues with em. Them taxi cabs are just too dusty looking

That's cuz they can't afford to do that anymore once Uber came and crushed the buildings...skip past brehs because "those people don't tip :mjpls:" and now they want people to feel sorry for them cuz they can't afford their taxi medallions? FOH :camby:

Local taxi companies have never left, it's just that the oversaturation of ride services have overshadowed them but they're still around in every city.

Now when I say taxi I'm not talking your stereotypical yellow NYC style cab but your local ones that come in numerous different types of cars and vans, basically the driver's personal car with the companies logo and the meter rate machine.

Dallas used to have pretty good cab service for nights out but this was back when my parents were young adults (the 70s).

Think two reasons people prefer UBER/LYFT = they came up with easy to use apps way before local cab companies even thought to do that..........and you know how much shyt is gonna cost BEFORE you book a trip.

With taxis, the driver can "forget" where they're going and make a $15 trip turn into a $23 trip just bullshyttin. If you're in a slow area/slow day, some drivers will try to milk each trip. Uber and Lyft drivers have no incentive to do that. They're better off being on time so they can get the next passenger.

Taxi companies need good apps and a way for people to know what to expect.

Having grown up in both eras, I honestly said I prefer Ubers and lyfts. Philly cabs be some on nut shyt. This dikkhead told me on price, but changed it after he hit some traffic.

He wouldn't let me out when I gave tried to give him the original amount.
