I heard Roger Richard on QR today whining about Uber. Lol. Didn't really listen because I was only in my truck for a couple minutes, but he was saying something about how they're not playing by the rules, wah wah wah.
I personally think it funny how pissed off the cab companies are. I bet that for every story in this thread about how we all got f'd over by cabs, there are dozens more in each person's past. I can think of at least 10 times I was swearing mad, and that's only because I tend to forget things. Cabs have screwed me over dozens of times. Ridiculously long waits, both on the phone and for the actual car to show up, getting kicked out of cabs for the distance being too long or too short, drivers taking scenic routes, even though I give directions, drivers wearing suffocating amounts of cologne, drivers that just can't even drive...
I just can't believe they want any sympathy. Taxi service in this city is just abysmal. And the cab companies are doing SFA to improve it, so of course the citizens are going to embrace an alternative, and most people DGAF about the bylaws.
Keep crying, Roger. Maybe if your service didn't suck so fricken badly, you might get some sympathy about this illegal service being used, but since you and your counterparts have been completely sh*tting the bed for so long, you're not getting any sympathy from anyone.
