If its anything like that food delivery shit they have, it should be fine

obviously they're violating their insurance policies, unless they have a class 4 license.

hahaha, your mistake is that you are assuming they have insurance and valid drivers licences to start with :rofl:

illegal? who cares unless you own a cab/limo company

it's a joke to call vancouver greenest city if you continue outlawing ride-sharing

ordered from those chinese food delivery service a few time. one time the guy show up in a tricked out sti, another time the delivery guy got out of the passenger seat of a maserati (i assume he was getting a ride). There was also one that delivery in a ml55 amg.

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

Badhobz 07-17-2017 10:06 PM

Very interesting !!! Gonna give it a try

PeanutButter 07-17-2017 10:31 PM

My buddy uses this all the time.

I can't speak Mandarin, nor can I read it, so I can't use the app.

I would if I could, because all he gets picked up in are Benzos and Bimmers.

edit:
Oops, he doesn't use this app. He uses the one built into "WeChat"

Don't forget the webapp version from earlier

So using the webapp can I order a car without putting in any personal info or CC info? Google translate is not doing a good job.

If you are rick you can pick up girls a lot easier just go to any club on a weekend......

Badhobz 07-18-2017 06:33 AM

If dudes had personality it's even easier to pick up girls !!! Shocking I know. You might miss out on those gold digging whores though.

Uber is like a taxi, unless the driver happens to be going to the same place as you it's not ride sharing and it's arguably less green than driving yourself (since the driver has to come to you as well).

I used Uber 10+ times over the last week in toronto, it's honestly infuriating that we don't have it in Van, I could not beleive how well it worked.

No matter the time, I never once waited more than 5 minutes for a ride regardless of where I was going or how many people were with me

CivicBlues 07-18-2017 09:07 AM

I used Uber frequently for the 1st time in South America.

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.

Most of the Chinese people I know use iPhones. I used to have one, but I honestly can't use one without jailbreaking the crap out of one, hence why I use a droid nowadays.

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.

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.

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.

Just going off what my friends’ experiences were.

There’s also Kabu and another that operates the same deal.

Sid Vicious 07-18-2017 11:28 AM

first time i ever used it was in India...INDIA, and we don't have it in Vancouver.

it was cheaper than the rickshaws too lol. air con, seat belts and quiet....oh it was a nice change.

Gerbs 07-18-2017 11:46 AM

So that sushi green sticker on a lot of cars in Richmond, is the food delivery sign?

I got an uber ride in Buenos Aires to their main ferry port, the driver wanted to switch off and end their ride early in case the taxi cartel got wind of it.

This stuff still even happens in Toronto. Fucking wannabe mafia


CharlesInCharge 07-18-2017 02:33 PM

CivicBlues did you know that a cab license is worth as much as a house and that those licenses are limited by the government, thus limiting cabs?
Also why would government allow Uber to operate when its illegal to do so in the laws?
