Yersterdat, when using google maps, I had one of those recommendations
that pop up, to use the Uber app. I had a look but the reviews were
atrocious. The fares seemed to be sky-high (this was not in Britain).

Here is one:
"Most ridiculously charged set up.. the driver told me amount is 177 and
i was charged 277 by uber on my online payment... the biggest cheat they
are ....the driver said that there is no tax and again they charged
double tax.. i will never use uber and no one should use they are the
cheats..."


If Uber really are as bad as that, then why:

1) do so many people use them that the Hackney Cab trade
is suffering badly?

2) do none of the contributors to this thread relate bad
experiences?


Good questions. I wonder who posted those reviews...


Usenet contributors?

Not likely, is it?
