tried it once, dude drove into the ocean. Never again

[Qmx323]

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:

[twitchyzero]

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]

Very interesting !!! Gonna give it a try

[PeanutButter]

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"

Most are rich kids trying to pick up girls in their nice cars

Don't forget the webapp version from earlier

[Manic!]

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]

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).

[Hondaracer]

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]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just going off what my friends’ experiences were.

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

[Sid Vicious]

i fucking hate taxi drivers. anything that takes away from their business is A-OK from me

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]

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

[CivicBlues]

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

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?

[CivicBlues]

Psst haven't you heard?..Government has the power to change the laws! :dizzy:

A Vancouver taxi medallion? A million bucks? Maybe before but not anymore:

Even before Uber arrives in B.C., it has the taxi industry in disarray (http://www.vancouversun.com/news/even+before+uber+arrives+taxi+industry+disarray/11755601/story.html)

[will068]

first time i ever used it was in India...INDIA...

It's such a life saver when you are traveling in developing countries.

[ssjGoku69]

“Plus, all taxi drivers have to receive official training by the Justice Institute (of B.C.) and (undergo) a criminal check by the police. Those unlicensed companies are not able to do that.”

LMAO with how aggressive taxi drivers are, this statement is laughable.

let me turn on my hazards and just stop in a no stopping zone because I am a Taxi

I use Uber once a week. Its as much or slightly cheaper or more, but a much better experience and quality of the ride compared to a HK taxi

[Hondaracer]

Cabs are so fucking unreliable here you're better off making other arrangements...

Numerous times I've had to take cab from home, hastings/Nanaimo to somewhere downtown on like a ducking Saturday afternoon it's 45-hour wait..

In Toronto we would be ready to go out (4-6 of us) call an Uber and every single time we were gone in under 5 minutes, Saturday night, Sunday morning, Monday afternoon, didn't matter.

Cab service here is a fucking joke.

[StylinRed]

longest ive waited for a cab is 10mins but i rarely need one

[Tim Budong]

the best use of this service would be to get home after a night out
gov't needs to make this happen

[Ch28]

Only used Uber in Toronto and like Hondaracer said, it was absolutely fantastic. I was staying on King Street West in downtown but it never took more than 5 minutes before an Uber showed up after I used to app to get one.

The idea of having to wait 30-60 mins for a cab in downtown Vancouver at anytime is absolutely ridiculous.

STI? Maserati? ML55?





what a disgrace to his family, not even a lambo or ferrari

:heckno::heckno:WutFace:pokerface::lawl::yuno:LUL: :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

you cant compare uber to a HK TAXI when HK taxis are one of the worst in the world

in my 3 weeks stay in HK, all my taxi drivers were terrible at driving, used cellphones, even fcking talked in the whole ride using his cellphone and i had to tell him to shut the fck up.

Not all of us can buy nice cars, 'kay...

Also, if you think a tricked out STI would be bad, you haven't seen this gem I spotted in UVic...:heckno:

The dude even has a vanity plate with his name on it. Like he is proud to have this thing around.:heckno:

eatmeal.ca
longmendelivery.com

they have a pretty nifty wechat app with menu built into it. Never tried website not sure if it works the same

Next time when you go to any chinese restaurant and cafe, there are usually a gazillion sticker at the front glass door. At least a couple of those stickers will be delivery service. There are ALOT of these service now those are the two I've personally used.

There is a surchage and it looks like they dont have the complete menu.

[ae101]
