Jackson, I ride in uber quite a bit. Most recently riding home with north of 5k cash in my pocket after selling my pickup. I didn't tell the driver that of course. I've never felt concerned for my safety in an uber. Every time I've taken a cab however the cab has either seemed unsafe, the driver is unsafe, or unsanitary, or both.


I'm pretty ticked if I get somewhere and can't get an uber ride. Btw I investigated th uber driver requirements. They require cars '07 and newer to sign up and make you go through a safety check. Something I've seena few cabs that no way in hell would pass.

Uber is consistently HALF the cost of a cab. So for half the price I get a newer safer car, with a decent driver, which I can hail and pay for from my phone and never have to discuss or exchange money with the driver? What's not to love!
