F you, Uber.

They tried to bypass taxi laws in our main city and the municipality just kicked them out. Never thought I would say it, but here am I:

Good job, government. Well done.

The hubris of thinking that a random driver-exploiting app is some kind of godsend utility and we’ll be scared of losing it.

At this point the old school taxi companies have their apps too, you’re not the cool kid anymore, uber

All anyone ever wanted was an app. Uber stopped being cheapna decade ago. It’s not competitive so let it die.

I’m going to celebrate the day when they ‘pull out’ of hundreds of European cities.

If you can’t pay your workers ethically then your business doesn’t deserve to exist. Simple as that.

So people will go back to fairly-paid taxi drivers. Not seeing a problem here.

EU please do what California utterly failed to do!
