    Default Anyone used Uber?

    We're going out to see "Straight Outta Compton" (Advanced Screening) and was thinking about giving it a shot. The few online reviews are inconsistent. Is it worth it?

    It's a good service for the most part. Never really had a bad experience. And I've used uber late night and late-late night. Definitely worth it if you will be drinking. It's only slightly cheaper than a taxi tho.

    I have used it over 10 times and I never had an issue. I prefer it to taxi's because for one most drivers have to keep a certain rating to work for uber, there are no surprise fees, I can see when the uber driver is coming on the GPS, much easer to communicate directly with the driver they have your number and vice versa.

    Be sure that your bum is clean encase the driver is a top.
    Most of the drivers have clean cars. To be honest the service is better on uber compared to taxis.

    Uber is one of the GOAT things invented in recent years OP, where da fuq you been???

    Lower fares. Nicer cars. Safer drivers. AND they dont smell like rancid BO.

    Its WAY better than taxi service. And you get picked up within minutes of pressing a button. Not calling some dispatcher and waiting 20 minutes for some sketchball to show up.

    Uber really is the best.

    Just know where you're going. Some drivers will drive around and run up your fare just like some taxi drivers. That happened to me the other day but luckily for me it was on the company uber account

    I use Uber every time I go downtown. Drinking and driving ain't worth it.

    Plus if you sign up using a friend's referral code, your first ride is like $15 off (so technically free for a short trip).

    Used to be that way, not sure if it still is.

    Thats why taxi drivers are blocking highways.

    Uber drivers are cheaper (sometimes), have nicer cars, speak english, dont smell like shit, and are more friendly (when you want them to be).

    They're taking all the business from taxi drivers.

    Let the taxi drivers bitch, their fate is inevitable to companies like uber that can provide a better service at a much more reasonable rate.

    Uber is amazing. cheap rides that come to your door in minutes. no cash involved, and you can even split fares with your friends.

    Though, it has become an excuse for me to get fvcked up every weekend and go out, since i dont have to think twice about driving anymore.

    The complaints are against the drivers? Or the drivers complaining about the passengers?

    Atleast Uber has a department to handle these matters and drivers are rated and reviewed. It's not a perfect system but much better than the taxi drivers have to offer.
