> Being a taxi driver SUCKS. At least Uber is an improvement
I would be curious to hear stories of former cab drivers who chose to drive for Uber instead because they found it an improvement. I don't feel like I've heard any stories like that, but it must be a thing a lot of people have done if you are right it's an improvement, right? I feel like I've only heard stories of cab drivers complaining that Uber has destroyed their business, which is nevertheless still preferable to driving for uber.
Yes, I know some people are locked into driving a cab because of previous locked in investment etc. But some people aren't, if uber is really an improvement we should be able to find lots of people who chose to move from driving a cab to driving for uber?
