Sorry, but these examples are pretty laughable. Do you live in Sydney, or even Australia?<p>As a Uber customer in Australia, safety is not something I need to worry about getting into an Uber. I can see the photo of the driver before I get in, I can see his rating, and I know the entire ride including GPS location etc. will be stored in the cloud.<p>Your examples only prove my point.<p>That&#x27;s a lot more accountability that can be had with taxis.<p>Now taxis on the other hand....I have had some great drivers.<p>However, more often many of them are rude, and quite honestly, some of the most a*sehole drivers on the road I&#x27;ve seen. Even as a customer in a hurry, I don&#x27;t want him or her driving like it&#x27;s Grand Prix Turismo, or being a jerk to other people on the road.<p>With Uber, I just rate him or her 1 star, and say aggressive driving. I have only had to do that once ever with Uber (and I have taken around 150 Uber trips, across four countries) - and within minutes, somebody from Uber emailed me back, to follow up with the complaint.<p>Have you ever tried complaining about a Sydney taxi driver? Or heck, talking to their lost property department? Good luck with that, mate....
