What is Uber?
Uber is American company which produced car application. It is application which connects people who look for a car with people who offer transport. In different countries firm operates in different ways. In some countries company is legal in other countries it is half legal and in others it is illegal.
When you want to be Uber driver you :
-can't be convicted
-must have car
-must get document from police with information about your offenses
-sometimes you must go to an interview
How much you earn depends on how much you drive. In Poland Uber develops the fastest. Uber driver in Poland earns about 2000-4000zl. Drivers who work for Uber are happy because they don't have to pay for ZUS or taxi comapny. Taxi drivers must pay it.
Of course Uber operates only in the biggest cities. But this application and it's range develop very fast so in the future we will be able to use it in most Polish cities. I think this is good information.
Car isn't the most important thing. It is mobile phone. You must have smartphone with Android or iOS.when you are a client after you install application you start getting information about people who look for clients. Uber drivers can accept or reject your order.
You don't have to have money with you. Uber is conected with your bank account. Uber is a bit controversial. In fact it is not registered so it is not totally legal. Uber drivers don't have to know streets in the cities where they drive. They don't have any licence.
You can see that Uber is good solution but not everybody thinks so. Taxi drivers and taxi companies complain because they lose clients.
Personaly I use Uber and I can't imagine using a normal taxi. I live in Łomianki which is far from everywhere. When I go from Mokotów to Łomianki at night I pay 40 zl for it. It is 30 km and second
zone so for normal taxi I would pay 3 times more.
Question:
Do you use Uber?
Do you think that Uber should be illegal? If yes why?
Are you like me and you can't imagine using normal taxi?

1) Much cheaper - I live far away from Warsaw and going home by night may be expensive. With taxi I paid over 200zł, and with uber (after night fare) 80, 80some zł, so there is great difference
2) uber is cashless, so am I. There is no chance that driver will deceive me, that some money will fall or that there will be a problem with paying (when I got home with taxi I hadn't got enough money, so I had to go home and get back, and my ride rocketed for about 5zł!)
3) clean cars
4) you know who you'll be riding with
5) you can easily check your route
6) you're getting all of the information on e-mail
7) you can give a feedback, which matters (too much low grades and driver can't drive for uber)
8) you see when and where is "your" car
I'm using taxis only in Swinoujscie, where they are SO cheap, that there is nothing to think about - just get it. Here, in Warsaw and nearby - I don't think so
A bright one is that Uber is a new quality, technologically advanced and the whole idea of simplicity connected with the ease of use is why it is so successful. Compared to an average taxi service an average customer will always choose Uber. The comfort (not only with Uber premium), friendly drivers, cashless transaction, hop in, hop out, all operated from within a smartphone? Please giv.
A dark one is that Uber is operating as an unfair competition. No need to have a licence, not paying ZUS or other taxes at all? (I'd like to remind we all depend on taxes being paid). Spying on it's drivers and users? That's a really shady side people most often overlook. The case of not paying taxes I blame on our medieval tax-law which falls behind developing technology more and more.
So yeah, Uber is a great as an idea but has many things on its conscience.
Can't say it should be illegal because is it? officially? What about those cases when Uber drivers were stopped by GITD and asked for a permission for "przewóz ludzi" or something like that, and charged with fines for lacking it. I've overheard about it on the radio. Uber is illegal in many countries around the world, european for example Bulgaria, Denmark, Hungary and most recently Italy.
If people want to use Uber I'm okay with it, why would I want to stop people from using it just because I don't want to? It just need some basic regulations to be fair competition for taxi drivers. And to be safer for people using it.
I don't think that Uber should be illegal. I think it's a great alternative way to travel without spending a fortune for Taxi.
Uber should be legal, I won't use taxi again.
What's more, the last taxi driver's protest made me sure, I won't use taxi if it isn't necessary. I agree with most of my colleagues - by doing this, taxi drivers made a free advertisement for uber and the same time lost people's trust. :)
However, I'm not taxi company, so personally I love the possibility to use uber.
expensive for me.
No I have not use Uber yet. for my this idea is great. It is very similar to airbnb or blablacar what I like I hope that it will be more apps like this. The only objections is that it is not polish company and money are not staying in Poland. But besides that I would prefer Uber more than normal taxi. Because of the price and mobility.
I think you should as it is a great alternative to conventional taxis , as Uber is much cheaper and sometimes the quality of service and machines much better.
Yes, I think that Uber is so convenient , useful and cheap service that once you try you will be very difficult to abandon it.
I think that P2P economy is a part of the public service evolution and it should not be forbidden, moreover it's impossible to fully forbid these services.
2) Do you think that Uber should be illegal? If yes why? I have no opinion about it. I have no enough knowledge how does it work, what about taxes, etc.
3) Are you like me and you can't imagine using normal taxi? No, I can imagine that I'm using normal taxi but I'm sure that User is much cheaper than usual taxi.
