Yeah give the taxis in liverie industry the same regulations that Uber Lyft and sidecar have I mean as if they would dish out the money for cars that the customers would like

the cars that we use will always be cleaner more comfortable and nicer then the cars that most taxi companies provide and that at a cheaper price

Come back to me in a year or so, rookie dilettante, and let us see how nice your "comfortable" car is. Let us see how it looks after you have beat it up by driving it over these crummy streets in horrid traffic conditions. Let us see how well your cloth covered seats and carpeted floors hold up to twenty people who get in and out daily in foul weather and who track in all of the dirt from the street. Let us see how nice those cloth covered seats and carpeted floors smell after people bring in their pungent carryout, their pungent selves and after they have vomited a few times onto those cloth covered seats and carpeted floors/ Let us see how well you can afford to maintain that vehicle on the princely sums that the TNCs pay you. In this kind of service, owners are replacing parts on vehicles that most mechanics, even those at dealers, never knew existed. Those repairs are expensive, but, they should be easy for newbie dilettantes to afford, since you are making "life-changing" money driving for a TNC.

Elitist dilettantes are just as dangerous as the management of the TNCs with which they affiliate. They learn one or two things about this business and think that they know it all.

Yes, let us give the taxi and limousine companies and drivers the same regulations that the TNCs and their drivers have-NONE----or next to none, in most markets; this would be one of those markets.

I am so sorry that you can't see you what I was saying with that post it was meant in a facetious manner

And by the way I am the owner of a transportation company so my car gets traded out regardless of mileage every 2 to 3 years so it doesn't bother me and I make sure to have all the good s*** in the car so that when they track their dirty feet in my nice ride that all I have to do is take out the little plastic thing from beneath their feet and dump it out and clean it off with water I do non emergency medical transportation and own a party bus and uber in between to keep myself busy there is no way in hell that I would do this for a living at current prices .how ever since I can write off 55.5 cent per mile and the car I use is business only I get a great tax write off think about it 75 cent per mile uber takes 20% means you getting 60 cent per mile then add your deadhead that brings you to average of 30 cent per mile

I would say in affect I'm just giving myself a good tax break IRS will not like it but hey as long as it is lawfully who cares right

I just feel sorry for you that you don't realize when something is said in a facetious manner

 

[uberslame]

Yes Uber is a tax haven and nothing more.

 

[Another Uber Driver]

all I have to do is take out the little plastic thing from beneath their feet and dump it out and clean it off with water

I just feel sorry for you that you don't realize when something is said in a facetious manner

I hope that the "little plastic thing beneath their feet" ain't so little. If it is, the mud, the vomit and the moisture will dribble into the carpet and you will have problems.

"I feel sorry for you" that you can not express yourself in a manner that is adequate to convey your message. Be that as it may, as one who through tireless efforts and unstinting labour has achieved the rank of Inspector in the Grammar Police, I am compelled to state that there are any number of serious errors in the "facetious" post. Said errors further hamper your efforts to make your point.

Official Motto of the Grammar Police: A preposition is something that you do not end a sentence with.

Oh I am so sorry to offend the grammar police by the way how many languages do you fluently speak and a lot of it is grammar but the simple fact that I don't type I talk to text into it so it does sometimes so wrong or mix up the words that I'm actually trying to say and God forbid I would have to do this in German then you really wouldn't understand crap would you now

 

[Another Uber Driver]

Three modern, one ancient. The only reason that I can not speak Spanish fluently is that when I try to speak Spanish, after about fifteen minutes, it becomes fluent Italian.

If you spoke German into the speakwrite I would not understand it. I do not speak or read German. I can decipher Anglo-Saxon, but I can not speak it.

Since you mentioned "doing this in German", do you travel to Germany frequently? Do you know anything about the My Taxi application? If you do, I have a question about it.

 

[JustPayMe]

I was born and raised in Germany I came to the states in 1997 and have been here since

 

[Another Uber Driver]

Thanks.

My Taxi came after 1997. It started in Germany. It did come to North America, but only to Washington. I used it in the cab. Back in May, I received a recorded message that stated that they were "pausing" the service to allow their "new partner" to "streamline with it". I have not heard anything since. They will not answer the e-Mails. Some of the cab drivers in Germany have told me that it is still working there, but they do not know much else. I am aware that the same holding company holds Daimler-Benz AG, Kar2Go and My Taxi.
