    The hubris of thinking that a random driver-exploiting app is some kind of godsend utility and we’ll be scared of losing it.

    At this point the old school taxi companies have their apps too, you’re not the cool kid anymore, uber

      All anyone ever wanted was an app. Uber stopped being cheapna decade ago. It’s not competitive so let it die.

    "Since 2021 in the UK, Uber drivers are considered ‘workers’, which is not full employee status but does mean they receive sick pay and annual leave.

    The firm has gone further than UK competitors including Ola and Bolt in worker benefits.

    The number of drivers on the UK platform has doubled in recent years."

    Go fuck yourself uber.

    F you, Uber.

    They tried to bypass taxi laws in our main city and the municipality just kicked them out. Never thought I would say it, but here am I:

    Good job, government. Well done.
