Article on YC's manager's reaction to Uber coming to BR.
Yea of course they do. And its only going to come out if Uber comes to BR? Nice.
Would anyone join if this comes out? Could a good bit of money be made by Sober Drivers friday and saturday nights downtown?

If the company does bring its services to Baton Rouge, Wyckoff says Yellow Cab has mobile technology in place to begin offering its own ridesharing services. “We've been preparing for this for a long time,” he says.

I wouldn't join but I'd use the shite out of it. It's a wonderful service.

Sorry, getting rides from strangers is just begging for problems. No thanks.

I always love the safety angle, as if the cab drivers in use today are some gold standard of propriety and morality.

I'm confused, he bashes Uber(admittedly I've never heard of this before), then says that Yellow Cab is ready to offer the same service as Uber?

I hope the comment section is a good indicator of BR's general willingness to accept Uber. We know that the cab companies will be trying to grease palms left and right to get them blocked for some bullshite regulatory reason.

the NOLA cab union is going to fight this with everything they have

I used Uber when I was in Boston, I'd like to see it here in Louisiana.

Uber is more expensive than a traditional cab but by far a better overall experience

Me and a buddy hitchhiked from LSU avenue/highland rd to get into South Downs the other nigh and got a ride from some random girlt. We didn't even bother with a cab. If uber came we would have background checked drivers? Sign a brotha up. frick yellow cab.

I Uber and Lyft everywhere. They're both fricking awesome.
If Baton Rouge doesn't get that, they are missing out. Baton Rouge would be a great place for them too since the cab services are some of the worst I've ever seen in a major city.

who gives a shite what BR cab drivers think? there are only like 3 of them in the whole city anyway

Baton Rouge and New Orleans are towns not made for cabs.
1. Called Baton Rouge cab the previous day to pick me up and bring me to a wedding. So I wouldn't drive home. I'm waiting, almost 7 time to leave, call again....they can't pick me up, they busy.
2. Calling New Orleans cabs for anything is a waste of time. I just find a hotel and go wave them down, your best chance.

Anyone know if there is a way to request a car seat in the vehicle? If so I will never call a a cab again.
