  By feeds their new drivers do you mean "feeds them more ride requests" or directly "feeds them more cash"?

  I asked my friend who goes on business to Paris a lot and he says he has used that taxi company before and never had any problems.  If you are worried though, I would look up your fare estimate first so you have a rough idea how much the trip should cost. At the end of your ride if the fare seems way off, I would ask for a receipt so you can report the driver. All in all though, I dont think you should have any problems!

   8 years ago in  Why tech savvy taxi companies will ultimately win ubers customers back

  Interesting take Chawes. I was going to comment on this thread that while professional experienced drivers are most definitely an important factor for choosing a rideshare/taxi company and even bigger factor for most people is price. Consumers love to save a buck and if Uber can take me to my destination for half the price than Im going with Uber. However, I have also heard many stories about Uber drivers making next to nothing or even OWING Uber money at the end of a trip (not quite sure how that works out). After hearing these stories, I cannot imagine that Uber will be able to keep these insanely cheap prices for ever. Eventually, they will have to raise their prices to satisfy their drivers and to stop losing the billions of dollars that they are reportedly losing. At that point when the prices level out, I would think Taxis would once again take a stronghold as their experienced drivers would factor into a consumers decision more.

   8 years ago in  Uber fare different for same location, same route, same time, and no surge.

  I have actually experienced something similar to this! One time I was ordering an Uber and standing right next to my friend who was also ordering an Uber and my app was showing a surge and hers was not! Needless to say I switched over to the Lyft app for this ride.
