Not an entirely unfair characterization, but when I say "committed to the
community", I'm not implying they are all marytrs or anything. Just that they are small locally owned enterprises who employ people and services and support our local economy.
Vs. a big portion of it going to a huge entity valued at $18.2 BB, in Uber's case ($700MM for Lyft), spread among the uber-wealthy (hah! see what I did there...uber wealthy).
Yes, I am one of those annoying people who like to buy local if I can.
That said, criticisms against current cab companies are totally valid - they should have (as I have said in this thread) re-modeled years ago. Hopefully, this encourages them to do so.
