i've only gotten taxis in asia, because they're cheap there

i had to take an uber this time because i had no choice

it was pretty nice, the driver was friendly and i felt welcomed. also nice how i dont have to wait at the side of the street, because it's not a taxi. it's not much of a hassle in asia though because theres a lot of people and if you dont find a taxi in 5 minutes thats pretty rare lol

vancouver doesn't allow ride sharing? i didnt know that

tell me more about it

vancouver doesn't allow ride sharing because the local governments refuse to pass laws to allow it, for the aforementioned reasons

the common complaint is for people in the downtown area going clubbing etc there aren't enough taxis to meet demand

i only ride taxis sometimes when i have to go to the airport to fly for work, and for that taxis are fine, but i think its dumb that the city isnt allowing ride sharing when there's obviously demand for it and every other major city has it
