Your first link is dead. Your 2nd link is just another message board (like this one), and your video is a quick how-to for prospective Uber drivers.

I don't get your point.

But strangely, how the cabs will pick up passengers will be the same, because the cab (not cabbie) licensing probably won't change. Either you have to arrange for a ride through an Uber type services, and wait for it to pick you up, or you just walk to the cab stand, and get in a cab that's already waiting for a customer. In the airport and casino situation, that latter is more convenient.

And there no guarantee, or even likelyhood that an Uber driver will be better (or worse for that matter) than a standard cabbie. They're all likely coming from the same pool.
I keep reading this. Every time I've arrived at the airport there's been a really long line of people at that cab stand waiting for a chance to get in one.

No thanks. Of course I wouldn't have used Uber either because we ended up renting an suv every time we came here.

UberSelf. The easy drive.
