It's never more than 5 minutes away, you can watch them on the app come to you after you've called them, you know who the driver is before he gets there and you can even turn him down if you don't like his rating, it's a fraction of the cost of a cab, the car is clean and the driver courteous, money never changes hands, you get a receipt showing your route and fare, and they are a responsible company who cover their drivers' accidents. It makes absolutely no sense to drive even after one drink if the ride home costs $5. It has shown how outdated and unresponsive the cabs and their drivers really are. <br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-30755065271213189782016-02-10T11:12:23.099-06:002016-02-10T11:12:23.099-06:00Seems like more rather than light regulation, King...Seems like more rather than light regulation, Kingfish. <br /><br />People of Jackson - 0<br />Polished Turd - 1Messicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-12267958171843932962016-02-10T11:03:42.740-06:002016-02-10T11:03:42.740-06:00Where was Stokes?
