The driver didn't wait, I waited for them. Four cents is twice the cost of my brand loyalty.

I hope this starts a trend. If these greed-driven whoring corporations want to glom onto every penny they can, fuck 'em. I'm out.

Fuck Uber. Find a local company.

Not sure I can get behind an Uber clone unless they conduct business a lot differently.

Is it possible for there to be an "Uber clone" whose business model isn't fundamentally exploitative? What the alternative should be is stuff like public bike/ped infrastructure and transit.

I guess the rental bikes and scooters are okay, although well-designed municipal bike-share systems would still be better.

Thing is, I'd worry I never had a bicycle helmet if I ever had one. If I wait long enough, can we wait until my (non-US) area lets us weez a bike without a bucket?
