Uber and Lyft are companies formed in Lilly white silicon valley, by Lilly white computer geeks, who would not know what the hood looked like even if they ventured into Oakland. They have put together a business model that is for white people, and excludes blacks, and most poor people. Their intent is to only cheery pick the best, and richest fares in any community, and Redline the hood and poor areas. This is easily done by allowing the drivers to not only choose where they work, but allow them to choose who they will pick up. The driver can rate the customer and, then, nobody will pick them up. If the rider does not tip (which is cultural and common with inner city people), they will get a bad rating and no Uber or Lyft guy will pick them up. I must pick them up even if they don't tip. A typical attitude of a Lyft rider is like the comment left on this site. You have to accept the new and ever changing world of technology and what people are comfortable with. Most p
So why doesn't the taxi cops of HCTPC just arrest a few of them and charge with illegal taxi and let a judge decide all the way to supreme court?

Maybe uber and lynx are protected by somebody and HCTPC knows to leave them alone? Doesn't make sense. Doesn't Untied cab have any interest in stopping this ursupration of there business ?
ReplyDeleteThat is what I have been thinking. Uber has 1.5 billion behind them. I would be naive to think someone has not been paid off. Why else would VICTOR CRIST be dragging this thing out.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Crist takes money from Uber, but people like Rubio, Scott and other bigwigs in Tallahassee do and they put pressure on local agencies and governments to let uber do whatever they want.
ReplyDeleteWe know for a fact Rubio is a big Uber and no regulation guy. His idea of capitalism would lead to immovable monopolies. It would create rampant poverty.
ReplyDelete".......It would create rampant poverty"
Delete.....then everybody would wonder again, why some people go bananas and start to do crazy things
eg
taxi driver starts to shoot Uber drivers or Uber driver with 4 passengers goes off the Skyway bridge..........:))
