    Uber. Ride sharing

    So it's slowly covering Australia, it becomes legal in SA in the new financial year..

    So have any of you guys used it?
    Do you rate it??

    I haven't used it but I like the idea of the review setup of both clients and drivers..
    If your a shit driver, you'll get no work..
    Cheers

    Just be aware of Uber's "Surge Pricing", that can sting badly

    Kids have been using them for about three years both in Melb and overseas. They won't go back to taxis.
    Tried them once and totally agree, clean, on time, supplied mints, cold water and offered to charge phones if required. Also wanted to know if we wanted to play our own music or select a local station.
    The surge pricing is to get more cars into the area and our price went from $48 to $18 within 10 mins while we waited at the train station. This made Uber a no brainer as a taxi would have been about $35 if we could get one.
    Cheers
