HAS UBER LOST A WHEEL?

UBER sounds like a smart idea and certainly thinks it is, valuing itself at around $40 billion. But in essence, is it really so much different than that cowboy cab outside some airport, which the voice over the loud speaker warns you not to set foot in? Now with an alleged rape in New Delhi, India and with Spain and other countries beginning to rumble the Uber cool company, there's almost bound to be more loose wheels ahead for them new kids on the block.
In the U.S. the Portland Commissioner Steve Novick certainly isn't an Uber fan. “If Uber thinks there should be no maximum price on what they charge Portlanders, they should make their case to the Portland City Council. If Uber thinks taxi companies shouldn’t have to serve people with disabilities, they should make their case. If Uber thinks taxis should not have to have proper insurance in case of a crash, they should tell us why we should allow that.”
I  think the Portland chap has given the over confident Uber a puncture that was always waiting to happen.
 Uber says it will start implementing measures to ensure that rider feedback — especially when it's critical — is met with immediate action. Hmm... (Image: Copyright Control)
