more news, Uber to no longer hire female drivers, and to require all drivers to stop wearing deodorant.


I have not got one female driver that was frickable. They were ghetto, old or dyke. Sometimes it was an old ghetto dyke.

93? Maybe 2013, car can't be older than six years old.

Terrorists ride fly, you haven't seen ISIS and their 2016 HiLuxes?

I know in cities like Las Vegas, uber has been banned. On the other hand, think about who uses uber the most. If I am not mistaken, I think Uber has affected the sales of vehicles and it will become a brand as common as Coke or... pick your household name brand which makes it a good investment, but at the same time I am sure another company who provides the same service will come along. Uber might end up like AOL. It use to be the big name in the world of the internet, but thankfully we eventually had cable & DSL.

Uhh, there are already a few competitors. Uber is still the most used and recognized though.

and getting shittier by the day.

If cab companies would start taking credit cards and develop a half-asssed app, there'd be no difference.

Yeah I wouldn't use Uber in Saudi, chances of you getting your head chop off cause you're American is way to high. If you are a female, kidnapping and rape would not be too farfetch.

Nawlins cab and Yellow cab here have an app. Not as easy to use as Uber, but they never do surge rates either.

When did they ban Uber in Vegas? I was there in January and used it quite a few times.

None of this really makes any sense at all to me...

why would a country want to drop that kind of cash into a company that has no real assets? seems like the Saudis could find something better to drop cash into....
