Uber, the ride hailing company, seems to look more like a
loser every day.
It isn't just that its CEO, Trevor Kalanick, was first on
Trump's Team and then was not, or that a viral video taken of him by an Uber driver
made him look like a clod. No, it isn't just that his idea of successful public
relations is to place his foot where the sun don't shine. It's the company
itself.
I left the doctor's office the other day and checked my Uber
options. I could either choose a four dollar ridesharing opportunity or order a
$20 car. I chose the ridesharing and learned a lot about how certain Uber
drivers feel about the company.
My driver said he had always been and Uber x driver, the
kind or transportation I usually choose. He had been told he now drove an Uber
pool car and the reason there were no Uber x's available is because they all
had been put into the ridesharing program
He said he'd heard many good things about Lyft and would soon be joining them.
While he said he at first made money, being forced into ridesharing cut his
income in half. He had no respect for Uber
and wanted out.
The ride wasn't bad because I got to have a conversation in
Chinese with one of my fellow passengers.
I'm going to have procedure done in an operating room very
soon. In order to get home I will call a yellow cab.
