That said, Taxi drivers have something Uber drivers don’t- a union.

Ngl Lemmy’s one drawback are the boomers being mad about stupid shit like this.
Cool, zero wait GPS tracked and background checked drivers that work with my company’s corporate account that I don’t need to submit a reimbursement ticket for? No no no, BUT MUH YELLOW 19TH CENTURY CAB?!
LMAO have fun taking the “tourist” route.
“Background checked”…riiiiiiiiiiight
I mean, there are some pretty legitimate concerns about employee welfare with Uber. Do the drivers get paid while waiting for customers?
They do in NYC yeah, if it falls below a threshold. I think it’s like $23/hr or something.
“My company’s corporate account covers it” - Yeah, while fucking the accessibility of any kind of reasonable taxi service for the rest of us. Eat shit, parasite.
Also, that “zero wait” would mean that those drivers would have to sit around constantly, not being paid, all to uber’s profit/benefit so that you can feel like a special little person when you walk up and give Uber the credit - Some parasitic POV you have there on multiple fronts… Maybe take a bit of time to look inward on that (ooh, or just raise VC capital to found a new startup that burns houseless people’s bodies for private jet fuel - win for everyone, corporate account bro!!!"
Saying this as a millennial, everything I don’t like is a “boomer” is a lazy scapegoat. Boomers suck in the many areas where they actually, specifically suck. But in fact here, you seem to actually have a lot more personally in common with the boomers with your pseudo-reaganite, “My company’s corporate account covers it” BS POV.
Maybe it’s a UK thing but at large public transport terminals we get lines of taxis waiting for “zero wait” business.
