I will never use Uber, I don't want to encourage or be in any way helping this completely fucked up idea. There may be people that disagree, but hold your breath. We will have to agree to disagree because I won't discuss this after......NOW!

There is a record of the driver picking up the passenger. That doesnt happen with a taxi.

believe me, it's safer for the passengers and drivers. We are in contact with dispatch, they see us on gps, we have a silent alert button we can press, so yeah, safer all around.
