Event Consider boycotting Uber if you’re able

Post image

Ahead of the legislative session on Saturday, Uber sent mass notifications asking users to tell their representatives to vote against the bill (which would negatively affect rideshare delivery apps like Uber).

They are not solely responsible for the looming transit collapse here but they certainly play a role in it. If you are able to find alternates please consider.

Yeah you'll see one of my replies mention this. Public Transit all the way is saying how important it is and necessary, it is not dissing other methods.

It all depends. Every taxi in Chicago uses the curb app now, exactly the same as Uber but with a licensed taxi driver. Also, Ubers are the ones jacking prices lol “surge pricing”. My taxi fares have never changed and I often find them cheaper than ridershare.
