South Freaking-America. 3rd world countries have this shit and we don't? I was worried about cartels down there but the Taxi cartel in BC could teach them a thing or two. #VancouverFail
Easy, cheap and no language barrier. Some friendly drivers too. | It's good until the taxi drivers there get mad and smash up Uber drivers' cars. Happens in Mexico, not sure about Latin America. Quote:

Oops, he doesn't use this app. He uses the one built into "WeChat" | I am part of a Victoria Chinese community circle in WeChat, and people post ride-shares there all the time. Most of them are going to/from ferry terminals/airports. They are just trying to split the expensive drive-on fee. Quote:

They also don't seem to care about tips one time i accidentally short charged the guy he didn't even count the money.
are these all fronts? I feel like the real business is selling a legitimate job for immigration purpose to the parents of these kids.
Maybe It was just coincidence but it was bizarre | Beats the alternative. I once saw a car with mismatched panels and looks like it's gonna fall apart any second delivering food.
You had a good guess there, though. I once went to a Chinese restaurant(who advertised on the Chinese community I mentioned above). Blandest food I ever tried. When I walked out, I saw a dude coming back from delivery in his new Mustang/Bimmer(can't remember). With food like that, I think they could be a front. Quote:

obviously they're violating their insurance policies, unless they have a class 4 license. | Does anyone living in cities with Uber and use it actually change their insurance policy? If you are just ride-sharing, it's unlikely you are making any money off of it(especially with a Bimmer/MB), so it's not really a commercial service. Correct me if I am wrong, of course. |
