| - I'm reading all these one star reviews (even the not recommended ones!) and honestly, I'm like.. boooo, suck it up! OF COURSE there's surge pricing in times of need! It's a basic business concept of when demand is high, prices get higher. OF COURSE some drivers are unsafe- I'm sure we all have been at one point. But to give it a 1 star for this amazing service? You've got to be kidding me.
I really enjoy uber, definitely over taxis anyday. The start rate is cheap and they always give you a fare estimate before you go- if it's not in your budget, then don't get in! Simple. I cannot even begin to stress how many times a taxi driver has left me feeling uncomfortable, has left me stranded OR has the nerve to overcharge me 3x of what they promised before I got in. I cannot stand taxis and I will never take one as long as uber is around. Have you never driven downtown on a narrow street just to have a taxi cut you off last minute, creating an abundance of swear words bursting from your mouth? Because same. 90% of the ubers I've been in have been safe, or relatively safe, considering where we are driving. Never have I felt like my life was in danger.. the worst I've ever felt was "oh shit, he's gonna scratch his mirror if he inches any closer to that other car"- which is not my problem, because it's his insurance. For the person who said the uber driver was lying to him about using his personal insurance, he's NOT. Uber contracts drivers, with a clean driving record & insurance and all they do is pay them- everything else is up to the driver. Learn your facts before giving a service/company a low rating.
Ubers are cheap, especially if you need to get places downtown (hell nah, I am NOT sticking myself in those sardines-in-a-can ttc busses) If you have a bunch of people, a ride is literally $2-4 each from one side of downtown to the other. They're reliable and it's great how they show you on the GPS where the driver is coming from + the license plate/model of the car so you can easily locate your driver. They also have different options like uber black, uber XL, uber eats, uber carpool and now uber WAV (which is wheelchair accessible vehicles!)
Ps, if you've never taken uber before- I highly recommend it over another form of transportation. (Pssst, use my code and get yourself a free ride while helping a poor student aka me, get a free ride as well- amyz472ue)
If you're that against uber, then walk.
