    is she the driver, the operator/owner, or the costumer?

    if the driver,
    full-time, part-time, or "when-i-like it" time?

    if C4U were the driver,
    i'd put her grab number on my speed dial.

    hanggang ngayon naghihinayang ako that I didn't get a franchise nung bago pa lang TNVs

    based on our experience nung nasa PUV business kami. sometimes the Franchise is more expensive that the vehicle

    dati noong bago palang ang uber

    owners are drivers

    those who just do it on the side

    hindi pang full time

    kaya you'll meet sosy drivers not the usual jolog taxi driver types

    kaya tuwang tuwa si james deakin sa uber he even defended it sa senate

    akala niya it will always be that way (ung driver and passenger same social class)

    then enterprising folks used the system like it was taxi franchise

    used several cars and hired drivers

    naging taxi tuloy uber grab

    Grab was formerly MyTeksi - it was created to make hailing cabs easier
    Uber was "ride sharing" if you're on the way to work, might as well grab a passenger for you to save costs.

    Later, the option to select a "preferred destination" sa Uber App was reduced to 1x per day

    In reality, if Uber was only used by professionals who wants to earn a little extra, who do we ride when these "professionals" are in the office? This is why Uber had no choice but to deploy rental cars for full time drivers.

    Now, we're all stuck with limited cars and annoying drivers.

    Wunder (carpool app) should have been a nice solution, but its almost impossible to regulate

    Sorry for the OT: Grab Singapore has this "Hitch" option where non-professional drivers can pick up passengers na similar destination. would have been a good option sa atin since a lot of cars has 1-2 people inside.

    Uber original concept was to encourage people to book rides instead of using their own cars

    which in the long term is supposed to reduce car ownership

    why buy a car when there will always be someone to pick you up in just a few clicks

    pero ang nangyari lalo dumami bumili kotse para kumita sa ganyan sistema

    haha
