Great summary of why I wont use Uber and why their business model is bad for the social fabric. When you try to sign up as an Uber driver, the last stage involves ticking a box labelled By signing up, I agree to the Privacy Policy and understand that Uber is a request tool, not a transportation carrier.” With that one small tick-in-a-box, Uber is deploying what writer Douglas Adams called a Somebody Elses Problem field over the entire regulatory dark matter of the taxi business. This means their service glides as smoothly as a Prius with the engine turned off over all that bureaucracy concerning safety, hygiene, insurance and so on. The drivers and their organisations have to deal with that lot, but not Uber. Yet Uber is where the value suddenly lies.
