Uber (and Lyft) is fucking great. Cabs suck big huge donkey dick.

Support getting Uber to Portland bros and chicks (and anything else).

Do they hire random people for driving services? If so, that is a pretty good way to open up some jobs. It would also be sketch if there wasn't some background checking going on.

Its a great way to hustle as a side gig. Not sure about full time but if you're unemployed or underemployed, its a good way to make some extra cash if you're not doing anything at night. You can also choose to work when you want to.

The drivers are rated by users and I believe if a driver gets too low of a rating they are no longer allowed to drive on the service. I think the same goes for passengers as well. Keeps the asshole out on both sides.

I use it all the time in LA. It lets me go out and drink without having to worry about driving. It lets me take a car to the beach where I don't have to fight for parking or crowds or parking meters.

how is it different from a cab?

At least in LA, its considerably cheaper (30-40%).

You can pay with your payment method stored on your smartphone. Tips are figured into the final price. Its also faster and more reliable. I used to use taxis to go out, I'd have to call in to a central call center to summon a cab, then they'd say 5-15. The taxi is requested, but anyone can hail the taxi even if they are scheduled to pick you up. I've been frequently fucked over with cab drivers never showing up.

With uber, you book a driver, you see on a map exactly where that driver is and how long it is until they get to your pickup spot. And for the most part, the uber drivers are just normal bros. They are friendlier and easier to talk to, wheras the taxi drivers are usually out to hustle you.
 
I know a few people who use Uber to get to Chargers games. Way better than dealing with traffic and parking.

The beauty of Uber is that government isn't regulating it, though they're trying. All you need is a car and a map and willing customers and you can make money. Entrepreneurial. But not if the government requires you to by and uber-expensive (pun intended) taxi medallion.
 
i would think lots of dudebros would sign up to do it so they could pick up drunk chicks all night long and get mouth hugs in the alley

Its one of my goals to bang my driver. I've had a few cute chicks pick me up at times, but thought they might rate me down if i get their number or something. i've gotten a feeling some were down but who knows, it gets into a grey area and I don't want to get reported, i think the safer thing is to get a number and hang out off hours.

some drivers don't like picking up drunks because they fuck the cars up, like drunks would.

Hustling good or hustling bad? ;)

well, hustle with uber means you just make extra money when you're not doing anything.

with taxi drivers they always take you the long route, charge an extra dollar for every passenger, etc.

most of the time, in PDX I have been ok with cab drivers, some aren't the friendliest and some seem downright shady. some cab driver had a system in his car, it seems like a bunch of them will hook you up with yayo if you wanted.
bunch of random north african driver types, kind of weird.

also hard to get cabs at random times as well.

Sounds like you need to start driving and running the D.E.N.N.I.S system.

D- Demonstrate Value
E- Engage Physically
N- Nurture Dependence
N- Neglect Emotionally
I- Inspire Hope
S- Separate Entirely
 
Seems like a great job for rapists and muggers.

That's okay, I prefer not to depend on strangers for my freedom of movement unless absolutely necessary.
 
South Park last week was playing with this.

Actually one of the better episodes in years!

parking in boston is so fucked i think this is really going to take off there
 
as an update, my bro that goes down to boston has got it cracking a lil bit, goes down friday and saturday night and makes 400-500 a weekend, has an escalade so he gets a lot of bigger parties i guess
 
We even have it in Indy. I use it in Chi as well. Cheaper and great in places where cabs are hard to find.
 
New business idea: KinderUber. Random strangers take your kid to or from school.

Let's celebrate you. Let's celebrate your love for Uber. Let's celebrate Uber's launch in Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, and Gresham!
Enjoy bites and boozy treats. Mix and mingle. Get your photo snapped. Rub elbows with the who's who of Oregon. Hope to see you soon!

What is Uber?
Request a ride via the Uber app on your smart phone. Uber connects you with a driver in minutes! In Oregon, our ridesharing service uberX offers Uber reliability and convenience with prices cheaper than a taxi. Our uberX driver partners have mid-range or hybrid vehicles in a variety of colors and styles, with seating for up to four passengers.

What Uber can do for Oregon:
Uber now helps tens of thousands of people around the world earn income as drivers.

Uber is simply the most convenient, most affordable way to get around town. Two taps, a car picks up and takes you where you want to go, and you're done. No cash to fumble with, nothing to think about. And after it's over, you get to rate the driver on a 5 star scale, ensuring quality is high.

Cities in which Uber operates have seen a decrease in impaired driving arrests. Seattle, for example, has a marked 10% decline in DUI arrests since Uber's operations began in the city.

'Boozy treats' at an event celebrating strangers driving strangers. Seems legit...

Just the fact that they call them 'boozy treats' is enough to make me never want to use uber. I'll take the interracial cab driver every time. Worst case scenario you get an interesting story.
