In my experience nowadays Uber drivers are just Taxi drivers who started Ubering in their own cars. I was thinking the other day how I used to get mints and water bottles and maybe a conversation. I get that about 5-10% of the time nowadays. I started using Black more often because I've taken dates in some Ubers that were practically falling apart, I'm worried about our lives in some of them along with some crazy driving.
Also nowhere near the rudeness of cabbies but they HATE only having to drive a 5-20 blocks to take you between neighborhoods. Always hoping for that 30 mile ride.
I mean the issue there is compensation. You won't pay more than $X for that super short ride, but for the driver, they just went 5 minutes out to pick you up, and now only get paid for 5 minutes of driving. That ride costs $Y but you would complain about paying that...
