I left BK in 2009 just before uber. I took black cars everywhere. I had a band and we would book an SUV and get a Lincoln Navigator to drag our thrash metal crusty tour equipment instead of driving our own van to local shows.

These small black car businesses were often very personable if you had an account or even used the same number consistently to book drivers.

I know Uber hired theses sorts of companies to staff in the first few years. I wonder if they realize that by doing that they put themselves out of business, and how much of that capital has left the local economy.
