Message: [QUOTE="Touring Mars, post: 11952467, member: 7647"] Pretty daft IMO - of all places to get rid of Uber, London seems the oddest choice, not least because of the number of cab companies that already exist and, from my personal experience anyway, are considerably dodgier than using Uber, and (I'm guessing) probably just as unrewarding and demanding on the drivers, if not more so. Perhaps London has cleaned up its act on private cabs since I lived there, but the ability to pay securely, know exactly who is picking you up and keep a digital track record of everything automatically are all advantages of Uber compared to some other options. I understand that Uber should make sure that their drivers are not earning less than the minimum wage, but as per some of the complaints noted in this thread previously, a lot of these claims are pretty ridiculous and, at the end of the day, no-one is obliged to work for Uber if they don't want to. The vast majority of Uber drivers are happy with what they earn, and so effectively banning Uber is going to cost a lot of people their livelihoods. [/QUOTE]
