It's already proven in other cities. After the LSU-Wisconsin game, I will use Uber, you use a cab service. Let's see who gets back to the Heights first.

If they guaranteed that they will never park it in the left lane on the interstate like all cab drivers do, then I for it

So Uber is better for black people because cab drivers are racist is what I'm understanding from this guy.

Not even the same thing. You are comparing a city with 5 million trying to move 100,000 people. It's the exact opposite here for Mardi Gras and JF.

Have you ever been to the Rodeo ?

That's all you got from his message?
He said many good things, and the fact that he said empty cabbies pass him all the time is a valid concern that Uber eliminates.

This new guy is really good…bashing the hell out of NOLA politics for crippling the Taxi market.

You should run for city council. You'd fit right in.

No, it's not all that I got. But it was definitely an, um, surprising statement.

He should have dropped the mic and walked off the stage like the preacher in Coming To America.

NOLA is a dump plagued by corrupt politicians, crappy taxi services, and shitty traffic, all sitting in the bottom of a bowl in the middle of what is basically hurricane alley.

NOLA doesn't deserve Über.
