SHREVEPORT - Uber is making its way to north Louisiana, unfortunately Shreveport is not the location.

The ride sharing service is launching in Monroe on Wednesday.



Also coming to Texarkana.

pathetic. I don't think there is a city in the world that people drive drunk in more than Shreveport.

I was just thinking that drunk driving arrests in Monroe will probably collapse after this week.

Ride shares would probably do well in Shreveport/Bossier.

So Uber will be limited to doing business from Louisville Ave. north? I don't see where serving half a city will be profitable.

Uber driver would need an armored personnel carrier to operate safely in the half of Monroe lying south from Louisville Avenue.

It's ok.

Scruffy heard Shreveport made the top 10 for Amazon's new facility.

Very much needed in Monroe. Had a lot of friends drive drunk from bars or whatever because of lack of options. Those friends were retarded but hopefully this cuts down on others making the same call

The answer to that is to find just one friend that feels he doesn't have to get tore down every time he drinks. Leaves more money in your pocket for booze for the next night.

I'm uncomfortable with Uber Drivers rating me.

I wait to rate and leave a tip until I figure out how they rate me now.

They seem to work pretty well around the Baton Rouge airport. I'm sure they'll figure it out.

The problem with our group was everyone that didn't want to drink just didn't want to be bothered with going at all. I'd offer up to drive if I was needed but it was rare I was asked when I wasn't drinking with them
