Uber to ignore German ban despite being ruled 'illegal'

I made an earlier comment about that perception you have. You are likely and upper class US citizen who looks down on things like taxis and the bus. If "providing value" means playing into stereotypes, then I guess you are correct. I also am an US Citizen, born and raised, and your comments make be believe that you are a bigot against the lower classes and see them as dirty. Or maybe your issue is that there are too many non whites driving taxis. I can assure you that I have stated my beliefs accurately.

As a side note, the term "value" has been so overused at this point that when people use it I tend to think they are idealists and I don't take their comments as seriously as if they had not used the term.

Lolno. I own a car, but commute every day by bus. I am middle class but, surprise surprise, still have places I want to get to. The only success I have ever had with taxis is if I ambush them when they are waiting outside of airports and train stations. Calling them is always a unmitigated shit-fest. This is both Seattle and Philadelphia. Philadelphia is significantly worse; cabs are unhailable (unless you ambush them at 30th street station) and they hang up on you when you give them an address in west or north philly.

Eat shit and fuck off.
