Uber horror stories are also not doing much for me either. I don't love the company Uber per se, as they are obviously pretty shady. But I love that they allow more choice in my market. New Orleans taxis have had an absolute stranglehold on the city for so GD long and they were never held accountable for anything and basically broke whatever rules/laws they pleased because there was no competition. But now there is, and it's great, even if the competing company itself isn't that great. Ya dig?
In Manhattan I'd more just all about Uber because A) every other state seems to be able to make it work, and B) there just aren't very many cabs (because D. Scott is always in them) but there are tons of drunk people who want rides all the time.
