If they really cared about getting more drivers on the road during peak times and not just milking every buck out of the unsuspecting that they can, they would simply halve the commission that they take during peak times. Boom, the customers don't get pinched and the drivers see a sizeable uptick in their fare takeaways.

FunOne posted:Typed in "Taxi kidnapping and raping a female passenger" into Google. Boston Uber is the first result. Next Fort Lauderdale cab driver, New York, Capitola Village, New orleans, Columbus. The difference is right in their agreement Uber denies any responsibility for their driver's actions, but taxi companies are liable for their employees, and for companies where they are not employees, there are dedicated police teams for the taxi industry anyway. No such thing exists to police Uber, and they would fight tooth and nail to stop it if anyone tried to hold them more accountable, their business model depends on being as hands off as possible.

Vox Nihili posted:Ha, Uber would then throw away the key to its success: displacing the costs of purchasing/maintaining/gassing vehicles onto the drivers. Uber would have to own and maintain its own fleet, which would fundamentally alter the structure of the company. They would have to get at least some actual, real-life employees and infrastructure to refuel, house their fleet, etc. Very good point
