[nfbwatlk] FW: [List] NFB Affiliate and Sidecar Initiative

[Marci Carpenter]

I have used Uber many times in Seattle and found it to be comparable to or, on many occasions, cheaper than the regular taxis. They are much better at customer service and much less likely to be talking on their cell phones during trips. I have had very good experience with the services..

Hi,
I've heard they are expensive. They also seem more interested in hiring
drivers than taking passengers, from what I've read. But I do not have
actual experience with them or companies like them. 
Thanks
Lauren

Have any of you in Seattle used SIDECAR?  The idea sounds intriguing; I
wonder how practical it truly is.  Rather than cluttering up the list,
perhaps it would be best for you to write to me privately at
president at cfb.ca.  I'll compile comments I receive within the next week and
forward them to the list in a single message.

Thanks for the help.  If Sidecar turns out to be effective, we may try to
encourage its developers to work here.  (No doubt there will be a lot of
international regulations to plow through, but Groupon managed.  Grin!)
