I actually lol'd.

But now she's shitting on the cabs. So I guess she would rather cab reform, but how is she going to get that to happen? Seems to me bringing in someone that can compete with them might be a good means to accomplish that goal.

Why is surge pricing such a hang up? You understand what you're paying. Why is this a problem? Because it's not fair to the consumer? Take a cab. Because it's not fair to the cabs? Screw the cabs. Maybe they should revise their business model.



What?

Maybe it's the way I do things, but I haven't ever had a problem getting United to pick me up uptown late at night. I also like how they don't let other people take my cab unless I am dragging arse inside a bar. Even then, they call a bunch of times before they do

During special events downtown though, I have had some trouble. I just figured out to have the valet guys call cabs for me and don't really have a problem anymore

That isn't what he said, but it wasn't a good comment

Getting a cab Uptown takes no more than 10-15 minutes…try getting a cab after JazzFest, a Saints game or God forbid Mardi Gras…aint gonna happen. Uber fixes that among numerous other issues (poor cab hygiene/dirty cab, bad customer service, seamless transaction process)

I paraphrased but that was his message. Basically, Taxis import drivers not from NOLA, Uber will hire NOLA residents. not sure why he even brought that up though. I think he was trying to make a point that your everyday college kid's vehicle is not going to smell like a crack whore.

Because NOLA is the greatest city in the world. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
