Somtamnication Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Wait, what? The mafiosos driving on the island will file defamation charges against Uber and the ICT will block it. This is too good to last and not acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the only way to defeat the other scum balls "Might be the only way to defeat the other scum balls" - aren't Uber using existing Phuket "Limo" drivers, but with a negotiated Uber price structure?

NamKangMan Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Ok good point, let me rephrase... Scum ball service and attitude.... I think most would rather a "reprice" - rather than a "rephrase." Anyway, same "scumball and attitude" - just at an Uber price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoHell Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Ok good point, let me rephrase... Scum ball service and attitude.... Anyway, same "scumball and attitude" - just at an Uber price. No it's not. Uber works on customer feedback about each driver. They receive enough negative feedback = They don't work with Uber any longer, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, same "scumball and attitude" - just at an Uber price. No it's not. Uber works on customer feedback about each driver. They receive enough negative feedback = They don't work with Uber any longer, Ok, so, we may cull a few Phuket "limo" Uber drivers for bad feedback - so what???? Uber is only using Phuket "limo" drivers - for obvious reasons, well discussed on this forum, many times, and at length. Mostly related to violence against anyone who dare offer an alternative service. Doesn't matter how much poor feedback Uber gets, the Phuket "limo" drivers are Uber's only option to get into Phuket, and that means, "THE ASSOCIATION" gets their cut, further entrenching their grip on transport here. It has to stop. There needs to be a free market for transport here, like elsewhere in Thailand. The Thai Army smashed up the beach enroachment racket - why not the transport racket???? It's not about the driver - it's about the price. Edited November 21, 2014 by NamKangMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenl Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Can you order through Uber to pick you up at the airport? According to earlier media releases you can, yes. But I think the price was the same, if not more expensive, than the other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamKangMan Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 @ TacoHell This was the article I was referring to in my post. http://www.phuketgazette.net/phuket-business/Uber-taps-Phuket-taxi-cash-flow/39444#ad-image-0 This is the relative paragraph, in the article: "The Uber application for smartphones allows members to track Uber-approved drivers in the area – who are registered legal taxi drivers in Phuket already – as well as hail drivers with the tap of the screen." At the time of that post, this was the information I relied upon. If Uber are now recruiting drivers who are not "registered legal taxi drivers" - things could get interesting. Especially due to many spending considerable money to become legal, recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
