Just cancelled my Uber account. Over $0.04 in "waiting charge".
-
The driver didn’t wait, I waited for them. Four cents is twice the cost of my brand loyalty.
I hope this starts a trend. If these greed-driven whoring corporations want to glom onto every penny they can, fuck 'em. I’m out.

Greed driven is how capitalism works. They are doing it the way the system is set up to function. This system can be changed and should be changed!

Greed driven is how capitalism works
I think it works using market forces, as in when someone doesn’t like how they are treated, they cancel their uber account, this means people like the OP can sign up with a competing company and give them his money, thus strengthening the economic power that customers should be treated well in order for the business to survive
this is the opposite of communism, where you are forced to use the governments uber service and when you are treated like shit you treat this as normal expected behaviour because you have no other choice in the matter

You can’t say things like that about communism. Straight to the gulag.

Provided someone is willing to provide such a fair and effective competing service, and doesn’t go out of business due to much lower profit.

Not sure I can get behind an Uber clone unless they conduct business a lot differently.

you have no other choice in the matter
Except you do because everything like that is under democratic power.
OP can sign up with a competing company
Which? Lyft is dying. Maybe it would work in some markets but in many markets especially smaller ones you have Uber and the local taxi service which will cost at least as much, maybe a lot more.

You understand the idea of a free market. Now, do crony capitalism, which is the present reality.

Are there local ride share companies, or you mean a taxi?

What if there’s no competing companies, but a monopoly (as is the dream of capitalists) or a cartel (a lesser dream)?
Let’s not forget that these companies aren’t really running on profits from customers. They’re running on venture capital bro driven development. Uber lost money for 15 years.

Actually I mean like a bus or train, perhaps a bicycle. Shocking I know. I didn’t really word it that way but that’s what was going on in my strange little brain.
-

Taxi, if they still exist near you. The tech assholes have done their level best to exterminate them and have largely, but not completely, succeeded. Fun fact, taxis tend to be unionized, though I don’t know how broadly that applies across States.

Capitalism works great in theory, but in practice “market forces” are undermined by monopolies, collusion, and regulatory capture. ISPs are a good example, in many places they collaborate to ensure their coverage areas don’t overlap so that they can all charge as much as possible.
