I know one guy who's going to be EXTREMELY UPSET if this happens. Be careful out there.

Wise is trolling. Not sure what his hardon is for trolling car service threads but whatever floats your boat.


So because I have an anti uber/lyft stance I'm a troll?

I thought you would love this. You always praising NOLA as they greatest city and you have made it clear that NOLA=piss n bums. You also say that uber = more piss n bums bc out of work.

Therfore uber = more bums= a greater NOLA for you??

You gotta get your trolls consistent

If they didn't want to get put out of work, then they would run a more efficient business. In America , we have this thing called free enterprise.

Pretty sure Uber was supposed to be turned on in BTR on the 10th. Check it out and see if it is up and running.

Shameless promo code plug for a free $20 for your ride - IDOTY

which is bad thing?

times change things evolve.

If you had this outlook on everything then we never should have gone from VHS to DVD to Blu Ray cause each hurt the previous one.

No Cell phones because they help put house phones out of business.

Stupid way to look at things. If the taxi services evovled and tried to get better on their own then they wouldnt get passed by. But instead they thought they were the top of the food chain and settled and stopped improving. It THEIR fault uber/lyft are so becoming so big

Their argument is to make it safer for the driver since he has no cash no one will rob him

You're allowed to tip but it's not expected.

Tip is included.

They absolutely do not want you to tip. Not in the model.

Since promo codes for uber are being thrown around I'll lay one out there as well:
b5t8c
$20 bucks off your first ride just use the promo code inside the app once you sign up. The $20 off from this code is much better than those other codes listed.. Just because.
