OK I have been an uber member since the day they were born, effectively... How was i converted? I lived in the presidio in SF - then later I lived upper-market/twin peaks. the cabs wouldnt fucking show up, so I was calling ALL cab companies - then they were sharing dispatch info and I was banned from calling them. I made personal relationships with black car-drivers (the lincoln towncars that are "uber black") and would call them when I needed to get a ride. I paid a premium for that - but ultimately they told me about Uber. I HATE SF taxi service and I jumped ship and havent looked back since. I spend A LOT on uber.... but for me (as I dont have a car and I hate driving) It is wonderful and has been great since I joined. The only reason I dont use Lyft is that they dont work with my bank for payment. While I think the CEO of Uber is rather lame, and a good friend said it was the worst place hes ever worked (ops guy) I love the service.... and for that reason I stay. |

It's weird I have lived in UK and Australia and never a problem getting a cab to show up. Nonetheless uber seems to be getting popular in Sydney due to the cost savings and ability to use an app.
