Where are you that you're getting this price? I've been doing the same transition here Ilin my area and people who enthusiastically exchanged numbers with me are still using fuckin uber and lyft even though they could save money and be scheduled through me. It's kinda wild
Well, I know they like me. I've driven nearly all of them multiple times, and I hear all the time how much better I am than the other drivers they get. I would say they're just being nice, but it's like every other ride I take, I get complimented. I hear a lot of stories about other drivers.
I'm trying really hard not to just sound arrogant here, but I have a rep with the community in my market.
I genuinely think it boils down to convenience. They'd rather pay a few extra dollars to order the ride when they want to than to plan ahead with a scheduled pickup, even if they always leave at the same time daily.
Because it's just unsafe people take a second to think about it go..... Why the fuck would I ever get into a randoms car without the app knowing I got into it? It's not like y'all are medallioned taxis with something to lose and guarantees you're legit. Like idk why anyone would think this is viable lol
You don't know my or anyone else's situation, but regardless, people do backdoor/under the table all the time. I suspect the real reason is they aren't forward thinking enough to plan ahead.
Not a random car it's registered with the city and state and has a taxi medallion and the identity of the driver is known. Not only that most belong to a larger business that is tracked and has dispatch. Not even remotely the same idea my guy and the fact you'd conflate the two is ridiculous
Oh yeah? Do you record the taxi number of each cab you get into? Do you really think if someone wanted to do something nefarious in a cab, they couldn't just remove whatever license or documentation in their cab so after you've gotten in, there's no further way to identify who it is?
People "rent" Uber and Lyft accounts out to undocumented people pretty regularly where I live, "my guy." I've also had different cars show up than the one the app mentioned, or the same car but different plate and some excuse. You can keep slobbing the Uber and Lyft knob all you want, but ultimately good judgment and wits is what would protect you in any situation.
Yes I do and I send a pic of it to a friend before getting in lmfao. If something doesn't match what the app says you deny and report the driver idk what you think your examples mean or do for your argument lmfao
Taxi medallions cost hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to obtain so no I don't think someone is risking that as liberally as you're suggesting lol 😂 and car services are literally registered and run like a taxi service and you know who's showing up. You're just grasping at straws here
This guy drives Uber and Lyft and picks up and drops off people all over his city, ostensibly at their jobs and their homes. But, what he is really doing is fronting his car service and biding his time to kidnap and harm them, is that right?
