How taxi drivers reacted the first time Uber launched.

Taxi Drivers knew that they were absolutely cooked by a cheaper option. Taxi’s were so overpriced I remember when I was little.

Thank God for Uber I was tired of any cabs asking me where I was going before I got in to determine whether they wanted the ride or not

I'm really glad Uber was launched! It’s more affordable, convenient, and safer for everyone. Plus, it takes away all the usual hassle of getting around.

They saw Uber as an unfair competitor due to its ability to operate without the same regulations, permits, and costs that traditional taxi services were subject to, such as medallion systems in cities like New York. Uber's lower fares and flexible driver model also attracted customers away from traditional taxis, further exacerbating tensions. Taxi drivers often protested, arguing that Uber undermined their livelihoods and destabilized the regulated transportation market.
