I love the Uber statement, saying 1) they've moved from an era of confrontation. That 2) driver earnings are at/near all time highs. And that 3) in the UK Uber drivers get workers' rights. 1) is because they have finished using the violence to get their feet in the doors. 2) is just economic prestidigitation (total earnings per driver (or driver hour) adjusted for inflation would be a reasonable looking measure. Just piling up all the fees and ignoring inflation is not honest. 3) This is true, but only because they were obliged to by UK law, or else quit operations altogether. And only in the UK. Big deal.

I can't say anything about other countries, but in the US, where Uber started, taxi services were corrupt local monopolies that gave terrible service at high prices, and that was true for me in New York, Michigan, Illinois, and Massachusetts. Dispatcher regularly lied to you about how long it would take to get a cab, and cab driver didn't care if someone else jumped into the cab you waited an hour for.

FairPlay to the man who spoke out regardless of salary etc etc not sure why so many people are being negative towards the whistleblower rather than Uber

[@happyguy201]

He made his money knowingly they were wrong. And also he is still living off that salary he earned by being part of that lie. If he is genuine than he should give it away or donate that money he doesn't own that money. The only victims are the drivers who get exploited.

Dam, I have never taken an UBER, or Lyft . Now after watching this, I will never access this service.
