Give it a rest already. If people choose to use Uber or other services that's their right. As long as you're not paying for it, can shut it.

What if one is sick? A long time ago, I had a procedure where I needed anesthesia and when I woke up from it I started to vomit profusely and didn’t have the energy to take the subway or even walk for that matter. . I was only in midtown and the dummy yellow cab driver refused to go past 96 street. I’ll never forget that miserable day.

Fixed that for you.

Often on Thursday nights when I'm stumbling to the bar drunk after work, I really don't feel like getting on to the train from Hell's Kitchen. When I can get an Uber for $8 from Hell's Kitchen to Mott Haven, I'm going to jump on that like I do on a di... wait, time and place...

Short version: I like Uber when they are cheap.

The streets are congested enough as it is

Also, they tend to do the surge pricing thing at 4AM when most people are too drunk and desperate to care
