Yeah idk, i take a cab every time i land at PHL and never once had an issue. Meanwhile, my uber or lyft drivers are usually poor drivers, and the apps actually/literally gouge prices based on demand.

And then go out on full pay disability for the emotional trauma caused by having to shoot a dog and see people evicted from their home.

No one will maintain them. The paint will peel and neither SEPTA or the City will repaint. Epic fail.

I live in delco extremely close to the airport and had to take a taxi home as my phone was dead and I couldn't call an uber. Practically had to beg someone to take me, as none of them wanted to go anywhere but the city. Dude even had the gall to charge me extra, but I was so tired I wasn't going to fight it. Absolutely ridiculous and one of the many reasons people try not to use them any more.

Uncle O'Grimacey is my favorite spokesmonster.

if the card reader doesn't work and they don't tell you before the ride starts do you still need to pay? I don't ever carry cash.

I get that taxis got fucked but they were caught with their pants down when technology leapt over their heads. They were a complacent, shitty service before Uberization. Always "my card reader is down", cab wasn't clean, shitty attitude when I told em my destination, etc. it's only recently they've changed their minds, but not the attitudes.

provide garbage service for years.. act shocked and incredulous when someone innovates you out of a job

Chestnut through center city is the worst. I actually prefer market. Cars double parking and honking at cyclists in the bus/bike only lane. People are driving through the densest part of the city and are surprised they are sitting in traffic? Take the damn train/bus or sit in the traffic you are causing.

Or when I lived in south Philly and the flat rate was an overcharge and they would get pissy about a “short fare.” I get that my ride wasn’t the lucrative one, but asking “are you sure” when I give my home address is ludicrous. I used to carry an extra $10 to hand to drivers that didn’t try to gouge me after I expensed my max tip allowed by my company.

I've had them do the opposite for me. They ask if I want the flat rate to South Philly because they know it'll be higher than the metered fare.

No..... Cookie O'Puss however.

What the fuck is that thing?!?!?!

Taxis are a straight pain in the ass and nothing has changed in the Uber era.

People want a flat rate to go somewhere and taxi drivers are almost never honest about it (I didn't even know there was a flat rate to CC). Half the time I ask a price the drivers ask to see Lyft or Uber apps. Card readers end up not working, it's just a general hassle compared to opening my phone and ordering and Uber.

They're at the farm upstate. Bullet really helped that leg heal up nice.

and put in in the truck?

Who can patrol the traffic while not giving a fuck?

The garbage man can

You need automated enforcement for buses to snap an image of the car in the lane. That’s what nyc does. Have police officers pull over people in masse in center city will have a worse impact on traffic when they’re stopped to the side then just letting cars run free in the bus lane

You’ve never paid more than $25 for an uber??! It was $35 just to get to center city from fairmount for me the other day lol

Maybe wrong word. Unreasonable probably better I live like at most 15 min drive from the airport and never paid more than $25 for an Uber but the taxis start at $35 and expect a tip on top of that

I bet the bus lane will also be the bike lane! Also with some paint!

That’s my absofuckinglute favorite!

Yes, there is a flat rate. Not everyone knows this. Sometimes (especially if traffic on 95 is bad) they will try to run the meter on you despite the flat rate. I've gotten into an argument with a cab driver on more than one occasion because they've tried to pull this on me.

Paywall; is Uber planning to pay into the Commercial Road?
