Uber email on how to avoid trouble at an airport

Uber driver trolling illegally

Uber sent an email to its drivers giving them tips on how to make picking up at Tampa Airport more efficient and enjoyable for its customers. The email was BS. It was directions on how to not get caught by the HCPTC and be subject to arrest. It this the kind of business people want to associate with? A business that is a total outlaw?

 "While we continue our discussions with authorities on ways to develop a long-term solution," the email said, "here are a few things you can do to meake the pickup and drop off experience more enjoyable for both you and the rider.

• Keep your Uber phone off the windshield - put it down in your cupholder

• Ask the rider if they will sit up front

• Use the lanes farthest from the terminal curbside for pickup and drop off

• Call your rider to ensure an efficient and easy pickup

"Remember, if you receive a ticket while picking up or dropping off Uber riders at the airport, Uber will reimburse your cost for the ticket and provide any necessay legal support,"....Uber email

The tide is turning, however. I picked up a young lady today at Tampa International Airport. She wsa the perfect demographic that Uber is targeting. She is college educated, a club goer, and leads an active lifestyle that would put her in need of transportation for hire.

She relayed to me how her and friends were constantly being ripped off by the surge pricing that Uber charges. The last time it was $45 bucks for a ride leaving a concert that only went 1.4 miles! Do you know that because taxi cabs are regulated, and follow the rules, you pay the same price no matter what?  Price gouging is illegal in Florida. Don't let yourself become a victim.

Why is Louie Minarti even talking to this Lyft driver?

Louie Minarti is going to lose his company if he keeps with this civility

This photo was taken at the last Hillsborough County hearing on ride sharing. You know the one where Lyft email bombed the area to get a large turnout. The whole bunch of them were cocky and arrogant. They seemed to have no idea that what they were doing was against the law. I would take the approach of the Paris cab driver who helped attack an Uber driver by busting out his window, slashing his tires, and hitting him in the face. I would have knocked this assholes teeth down his throat. But that's just me.

You got to love the French

Pure arrogance

The only pick they should be wearing is jailhouse pink
