Apartment complexes, package deliveries, medical shit, people locked out of your house who need to get in to feed pets, your neighbors to shut off the water when your pipes burst when you are on vacation, etc.
I’ll happily jump ship when a better alternative is available, traditional taxis are not a better alternative. I’ll happily vote to implement any regulations covering them, even if it means that an Uber ride gets more expensive. Like I said, I’ll continue taking Uber/Lyft even if they end up being more expensive than a taxi especially if it’s that cost to pay the drivers a proper wage
Uber drivers don’t regularly leave me waiting for hours with the promise of being “Just 10 minutes away”
Uber drivers can’t go “This guy isn’t local, so I’m going to go the longest way possible to rack up charges”
Uber doesn’t leave me guessing where the car is with my only way to find out is to call dispatch (Who will constantly tell you a car is on the way “just a couple minutes”)
Uber drivers don’t just stop 2 or 3 blocks away and expect me to walk
Uber cars have been far cleaner and better maintained than the best taxi I’ve been in
I’ve felt far more unsafe and uncomfortable in a taxi than any Uber ride I’ve been in
Who calls people these days? Apart from taxi drivers.
Doctors, pharmacies, basically anyone in the medical industry.
Businessmen, people with sales jobs, basically anyone who needs to coordinate shipping, receiving, transactions, at the scale of a large business.
Anyone in the military.
Lots of government offices, courts, basically all of the executive and judicial offices and administrations for every government.
Should I go on?
Thanks, if you hadn’t guessed I wasn’t being serious.
Maybe I should have /s’d?
Ah, that didn’t come across. No worries. :)
I’ll give you the upvote, I got the sarcasm with a tinge of truth there.
I only take scheduled calls anymore. Even for work (for the most part), because my work schedule is so full.
Yet Another Call Blocker has been fantastic for me, even on a non-rooted phone. Very configurable, let’s your contacts ring through (if you choose).

Very cool, I have been relying on the Pixel dialer to screen calls but I ended up just blocking them most of the time. I’ll check this out thanks 👍.

Human beings who want to speak with other human beings.
I know. It can seem like a strange concept to some people. It’s strange to me that they find it strange.
Wow sarcasm is truly dead on the internet. 😂
Mate, I wasn’t exactly being serious but thanks for the effort you put into your reply 👍.
Man, fuck taxis. Uber/Lyft have their issues, but I will NEVER go back to taxis even if Uber/Lyft becomes more expensive than a taxi.
Yeah, how neat to support a company that pays cents to the drivers and skirts all legislation related to safety and taxes, right?

Convenience over legality. Well done.
You mean Taxi drivers?
The Taxi industries such scum that I’ll still take Uber any day over them.
I have zero sympathy for taxi drivers.
