I used Uber when I was in Buenos Aires. As I was getting in a car once, the driver told me to hurry up because there was a taxi behind us. The Uber driver said that if the taxi driver saw us, he'd smash his windows. There's this never-ending battle between traditional taxis and Uber. I understand both sides.
Do you have a link to the paper? I couldn't find it on the Internet.
Thank you for sharing this. And yes, my gratitude goes to the researcher too.
Indeed, I have learned a lot reading this. It proved (more) to me that we have to disconnect ourselves from what we do, our jobs and or love ones.
We have to be able to stand our ground when things go south. We have to be able to say, "Common man, this ain't going to break me. Whatever happen man, I'm going to survive."
And we can only say that if we're always 'Hope for the best and plan for the worst.)'.
I'm all in for the losses, the existential fears and I can understand the pain. But please, let's discuss also the other side of the coin.
When was the last time the taxi industry evolved? A hundred years ago? I hated to use taxis. Most taxi drivers I drove with did not care for their cars. Unclean, disgusting and smelly vehicles. And the drivers are often non-stop talkers, loud music lovers and not aware of being in service for someone. Driving abilities? More of a public danger than anything else.
I prefer an Uber at any time. I speak only for the country I live in. No experiences in Australia!!
This is an eye-opening article, Ben.
