Which is not something I'd ever do anyway. Who can't cover the fare for their friends (if they're going to the same place/closeby) and let them take the next one or buy you a drink or something?

New Orleans cabs stink. Literally and figuratively. I've been here (used to live here) on business since last Friday and have gone through 5 cabs ... Not a single one had a working credit card machine ... Few spoke English ... All smelled ... I've used uber in other cities and it is time there was a decent alternative in New Orleans

Because it takes 5 seconds to split with a person.

I couldn't imagine telling my friend to give me $4 to split our cab. Unless we both just legit didn't have the money.

Have you used Uber? Just curious. The fare splitting feature is one of the reasons I love it.

Yeah, I catch cabs MUCH easier in New Orleans, but they're in much worse condition and have almost all foreign drivers.

Yeah it's amazing how many cabs have "broken credit card machines" or "can't break a bill"

Yeah but it is a nice touch. Especially in Houston where a ride could be $20 if you are traveling

You are not comprehending that I am not saying the fare splitting is a hassle or difficult. Don't worry about it

Exactly. I just got back from a vacation where we used Uber all weekend. Tons of trips and we were all able to split the fare with a push of a button.

brah you just gotta make them radio dispatch. Then you get a free ride and instead of 50/50 on getting a cab ever again you know you will never get one again.

Great lets just get rid of the pilot profession too. We'll just hire students off Craigslist to fly planes.
