It's Sunday, the first weekend of Uber starting in the region of Waterloo. Drivers on the weekend average $4.00 an hour. All because Uber gave away free rides. So, that they can make a good impression with the community. Hundreds of families relying on incomes from the taxi industry just got hurt! How's it fair that I and my fellow taxi drivers. Where we pay our taxi fees and taxes, can be stepped on by one company that's not part of this community.
The look of despair on my driver's face after working a whole weekend. Making less than half of minimum wage. What can I do against a company that worth over 40 billion dollars. How can I survive this onslaught. I'm really at a lost. I know that the taxi industry in the Region of Waterloo is one of the best! How do I know this. Simple, driving for 22 years. Customers from all over the world that have visit this Region have said so! Fast, and affordable rates.
Uber has hurt our community more than it has helped! Now, I have to figure out wants next for me and my family!
