Talk:The Digital Excellence of Uber/@comment-27077344-20151028143949

Personally, Uber has been a great application that I use almost every time I need to get from one location to another, quickly, efficiently, and at a cheaper cost as opposed to traditional taxi cabs. You have made these points very clear in your writeup. Although, instead of focusing merely on the benefits Uber compared to taxis, you should also briefly discuss about the potential pitfalls to this application. Consider the fact that special taxi plate licenses are not needed, and because of this, anyone can perform the same service which is saturating this job market and driving the cost of service lower. Will other competition besides Uber become a reality in Toronto and thus, lower the cost of fairs even more so that these corporations can compete? Remember the article we read for class about what has happened in San Fransisco and how drivers barely make minimum wage. It's possible that this will eventually happen in Toronto and once it does, the only people who will appreciate and love this service are its customers, not the drivers.
