I had many disappointments after flagging down a cab. The driver is not interested in going my direction. Although Paris has reasonable charges for fare, it is outrageous in UK.<br /><br />I had not heard about Uberx and Uberpop. So I had to look it up. :) My personal opinion. It is a way of circumventing the local laws.<br /><br />The reason for writing this piece is partly the disillusionment. Uber is a service that is possible with technological advances. It is supposed to make money for everyone. Unfortunately, it doesn't. The poor driver in India is still driving a car oblivious of how this could help him. And he has not been paid even after driving around for 2 weeks!Nonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13892851938328826870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609529780490180146.post-84958224563417032912015-08-07T12:27:21.187+05:302015-08-07T12:27:21.187+05:30Uber has certainly been a game changer in many mar...Uber has certainly been a game changer in many markets. In Paris it has been a pleasure to consistently have professionally dressed and polite drivers, clean cars in good condition and no surprises on the fare. However the practice of charging 1.9 times the regular fare during peak times is outrageous, and I have never accepted this rate. Good to be notified in advance and be able to make the choice I guess. Interestingly in Copenhagen this week the only option available was Uber POP, which has been made illegal in other countries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
