and is still happening. My
          incident might have happened
          in the pre-Uber days of 2010,
          but it’s alarming that this is still
          happening to people in 2019.

          If taxis want us to return to
          them, they need to be better
          at taking us home safely.
          Ridesharing companies
          aren’t perfect by any stretch
          of the imagination, but they
          at least demonstrate a level
          of accountability and safety.
          Unless the taxi industry’s duty of
          care to its customers improves,
          it can hardly blame companies
          like Uber, for people not wanting
          to flag a cab down after a night
          out.
