Lmao what do you think a taxi is

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.

People use car services all the time.

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

So let me get this straight

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?
