I doubt that an Uber driver is going to be too stoked for a 1km fare either, even with the controls in place to prevent them from saying no to those.

If I don't want to walk 15 minutes because I'm lazy, or because the girl I'm with is wearing heels, or because it's minus 20 outside, has nothing do do with the fact that in a real city, there should be a for-profit service where people like me can get a GD ride to wherever they want, whenever they want.
It is downright mystifying why the sh8t service Calgary taxis "provide" keeps getting defended. Especially with weak ass arguments like "you could have walked there in 15 minutes".
