The uber model is a pretty unique change in the way we see transportation and I know it has a bad rep but that’s because the company is disrupting so many industries like car manufacturers, public transport services, car sales and markets like car loans, repairs and car insurance!

That’s a lot of livelyhoods, status quo industries and people to piss off so it’s in the interest of these industries to have a micro focus on anything uber does! Not saying they’re an angel fo a company but they’re literally build the market that we will eventually use as the norm, the on demand services free market!

Once we adapt it with the help of blockchain an DOAs where it’s more about the peer to peer services and not a central company’s stock price we could really see insane changes but it will come with time

But back to my point, before technology dealing with people servicing customers was easier you had a spat you move on! People have misunderstandings all the time but now with tech we can draw out these arguments, involve third parties and broadcast it online to rally your point of view so things can get out of control pretty quickly

I’ve never really had a bad uber driver in South Africa, Egypt or Thailand which I’m greatful for.

I did however have a traumatic experience with a friend of mine, he was a Bolt driver an uber competitor and he was murdered by 2 of his passengers on only his 2nd day of driving! It was horrific!

He was unfortunately at the wrong place at the wrong time with frustrated taxi cab drivers decided to attack him! It’s why I say these services are changing the markets and demand and people don’t want to accept change!
