Uber: EU rules will see us pull out of “hundreds” of European cities — Brussels’ proposal to classify gig workers as de facto employees could slam the breaks on operations across the bloc::An Uber boss has issued a stark warning that Brussels’ proposal to classify gig workers as de facto employees could slam the breaks on operations across the bloc.
… yes, they destroyed the taxi industry in a remote airport where they never rolled out service to. Right.
Oh boy 😂
Edit - I should explain
Uber never rolled out service to the airport because it wasn’t profitable enough, that would be the only reason
The few remaining taxi drivers still in work after Uber destroyed their industry won’t go to the airport, for the same reason Uber didn’t. But now the taxi drivers are even less likely to go there as they’re forced to go where the money is, wherever that may be
Let’s face it, if you ever used Uber to save yourself a few dollars, it was at Uber’s expense; they made a loss on it
Now the taxi drivers have gone, they have a monopoly and have quadrupled their prices
As they say, there’s never one flake of snow that thinks it was responsible for an avalanche
Your point was obvious. It’s still awful and makes bad assumptions on taxi availability and demand in an a rural area. Your entire argument seems to be based on city economics of supply and demand at scale.
