[NAGDU] Uber and NAGDU

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Lisi.
I too am wary of Uber.  I've heard stories of drivers coming on to female
passengers, and worse.  I notice the only people who answered your question
with experience were male, and, though I wish it weren't so, women have to
be a bit more careful.  I expect having a big dog at your feet does help,
though. "Does your dog bite?"  "No one has ever wanted to find out."
I say, be bold, do what you want, but be wise, too, and consider ways to
minimize your risks while doing the things you want to do.
Tracy

Dear Buddy,

Thank you for understanding my concerns about Uber. I'm a natural worrier
and you were spot on when you wrote, "Of course, when you're not used to
having to rely on other transportation options, doing so for the first time
as a necessity is, I'm sure, a bit daunting." It really is! I know in time
it'll probably come as naturally to me as anything else, but it is quite a
change. 

I'm going to look up the Patronis app you mentioned, too. Thank you!
