I use Uber here in Reno with great success and I have to question the
treatment of their drivers. I have asked almost every driver if they have
any problems with Uber and they say "No". And I tend to wonder if some of
these rumors come from the taxi services who want Uber and Lift gone because
of the competition. The services have certainly taken business away from
them with good reason. Here, the Reno taxis are not as clean, and the prices
are exorbitant so I don't use them but use Uber instead as many others do.
I live outside the ADA area so can not always depend on Para transit so Uber
has made it so much easier for me to get around independently.

The apps themselves are of course free, whether one service is better than
another may depend on your city. In some places the same drivers may drive
for Lift and Uber.
Here in Canada Uber is only available in a few of the larger cities and I
have used it in Calgary and the drivers were always very good, but at one
point we went from our hotel to a mall using Uber and then going back we
used a regular taxi, both times it was in the late afternoon/early evening
when things were quite busy and the distance was not very far, maybe 2 or 3
Km. In that example Ueber was more expensive because of their surcharge
during times when there is high demand and of course there is all the bad
press Uber has been getting because of how they are treating their
employees, their drivers and some of the practices they have employeed which
are unethical to say the least. They are suffering because of this right now
with London having revoked their license and I think there is a chance they
are getting kicked out of Quebec. Vancouver on the other hand is apparently
going to start letting Uber come in this fall, at least that was the plan.

Subject: Questions regarding Uber, or Lift
Hello all,
I know there have been many questions on this list, regarding both of these
services. Unfortunately, I didn't keep up with the threads, because I don't
travel alone. Just a personal choice.
However, now I have some questions about both services.
First of all, is there a difference in the services?
Is 1 better over the other? I know that will be opinion. But sometimes there
isn't anything wrong with this.
Is 1 App easier to use than the other?
Now if I set up 1 of these Apps on my phone, do you always have to pay
with a card?
And if the App is on my phone, can I send an Uber, or Lift driver to
maybe pick a friend up, as long as the charges are set to my card?
Also, will you know ahead of time how much a trip might cost?
What does each App go by, when it comes to pricing?
Any help with any of this would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Terri
