how to: Debate: DELETE UBER.
What’s not to like? Uber has a current market cap of $70bn and countless happy passengers who know why taking a cab is better than taking a car – or a bus. We get to ride at rates so low they hardly cover the cost of fuel. Uber drivers get to be their own boss and choose the hours they want to drive. ‘Low-cost is king’ and everyone is happy. What could go wrong?
