I’ve personally never used Uber, Lyft, or other so-called “ridesharing” services, and I never would. IMO they’re just glorified hitchhiking.
Likewise, I’ve never used or would use Airbnb.
I understand that a lot of people do use them and consider these crowdsourced services to be “normal”, but from my perspective it’s baffling why people put so much trust in totally unvetted, unaccountable randos.
@krzyzanowskim@lapcatsoftware yup. Uber displays their taxi license number in app, along with what city it’s registered with. While I have issues with how Uber pays their drivers, they’re as regulated as any taxi in terms of safety.
@krzyzanowskim@lapcatsoftware@amyworrall Not to mention, in a good chunk of the world, taxi drivers are not hired by any cab company; rather, individuals can obtain a license from their government to operate their own cabs
