minus-squareThe_Terrible_Humbaba@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 hours agoUber is still objectively better than cabs. You agree on the price before hand. With cabs sometimes there’s no meter, and even when there is one, good luck knowing if you’re being ripped off when you don’t know the streets.
minus-squaremabeledo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 hour agoI’m sorry you live in a place where cabs aren’t regulated, I guess. Because where they are, meters are mandatory. good luck knowing if you’re being ripped off when you don’t know the streets. How is Uber any better on this regard? Agreeing on a price beforehand doesn’t mean that it is a fair one, at all. Surge pricing is a thing.
