My lads living and working in Brum, its 5 miles from his plave to work, he starts at 6am, hes been using UBER and they have been bang on time, plated vehicles and cheaper than the local PH pases, i rang the biggest local company but thier "ghost" (?) despatch system couldnt locate his (new build) address

they needs to know I'm sure Brum will be next in line for a terror attack and Uber will no doubt be 3x plus on the surge on that night

Nige, hes been checking

He had the E class and a C class pick him up, Birmingham PH plated and badged

The E class had the latest virtual display/cockpit (66 plate car)

Was only a 2.2 AMG line

Looks like UBER Exec rates pay well

I don't like Uber and I hate the fact that his old man is a cabbie and he still uses Uber.

Ive no issues

Uber have been cheaper than the local PH bases, and found his address (new build) when TC cars couldnt..

The cars have varied but have been better then the hacks he was driving here

Dont decry UBER, try upping your game

Icabbie "IVR" bookings are regulars without speaking to a base op....bit like uber?
