[Electronics-talk] UBER

[Gerald Levy]

I have to agree with you.  I'm always very leery about companies that ask 
for your credit card number in advance.  Uber have a bunch of cities listed 
in the combo box on their web page, but San Francisco seems to be their home 
base, so I question the reliability of their service elsewhere.  And here in 
New York City, there is no way that a black car service is going to be 
cheaper than a neighborhood livery cab service.  When you click on the 
pricing link, they do not provide any pricing information, which makes me 
very suspicious. But the biggest red flag of all is the fact that they do 
not provide a contact phone number, so there is apparently no way to speak 
directly to a customer service agent if you run into trouble.  I have always 
had problems with unreliable car services, and I would never deal with one 
that does not have a contact phone number.
