Confused, aren't these just black cars? They're everywhere in NYC and used often for those that are in a hurry knowing they cost more. If you're calling an Uber with a corolla, and you get tricked into a black suburban thinking its your Uber, you got bigger problems.
Assuming the app doesn't work for you, or it's glitchy, you may just want to go with whoever is offering to take you, not using your best judgment. We have that happen in Los Angeles at Sofi Stadium, the new football venue. So yes, a black car driver doing his own thing and probably very professional about it, but last thing you need is somebody holding you hostage mid-route because they want more money out of you.
Taxis don’t service local residents needing rides to our homes across the valley. Taking a passenger sometimes 20 miles or more, with an empty cab on the other end of the one way ride isn’t as profitable as running multiple fares in the same time and distance. Try calling a cab for rides services that are nowhere near the tourist corridor, like when your car is in the shop, or other such small travel needs.This is how Uber and Lyft filled a necessary niche for residents.
@ERAforALL I have called a taxi to pick me up from my house to take me to a bar and another to take me back to my house after the party was done and it was a seamless process that was very affordable.
@@Unmei_Ka weird .. cause where I am it was not affordable at all. When vehicle broke down cost us like $60 to be taken 15 miles.. I do not call that affordable.
snarflatful~ taxi authority will use anything against their own drivers ( when they think they don’t need them) accidents usually lets them loose more drivers than anything. This isn’t a problem the problem Las Vegas has right now? Not enough police ( because they pay the lowest) extreme violence everywhere) corrupt cops and police departments detectives you name it they are criminals) the taxi authorities probably crying right now because they get low revenue. The hole building is empty ( not sure why they exist?) these independent drivers will drive them all out of business. It’s not a threatening problem just a low earning for Uber stocks and the taxi authority not making money lmao 😜 so they think 5, people are going to stop 10,000 drivers from hustling lmao they feel the burn so they try to draw attention to something that has happened for years except now they can’t keep up. Hell look at all the no license plate drivers lmao nothing to loose makes people crazy.
Anyone who gets in the car of a driver THEY DID NOT HIRE THROUGH A KNOWN SERVICE deserves whatever befalls them... if YOU didn't order the ride... DONT get in the car. From a 7yr 5star Uber Driver.
these independent operators are just try to make a living. it's not like cab companies, Uber or Lyft does any background checks of any sort. not any safer or more dangerous.
Exactly. This practice used to be called 'Jitney Drivers' in the Deep South and East Coast in the late 50's to early 70's. Back then it was almost always 20% to 50% cheaper than regular cab fare. Many countries in East Asia do this too today.
WRONG. Uber DOES do background checks. Also... Uber provides ONE MILLION DOLLARS insurance to Riders AND Drivers. I've been in an accident with passengers, UBER WAS SPECTACULAR to deal with and paid for EVERYTHING. Get in the car with one of these guys... do they even have insurance??? Think before you speak, especially when you don't know what you're speaking about. Anything goes wrong on an Uber, Lyft or Taxi ride... you have THE COMPANY to talk to. Anything goes wrong on one of these guys rides... YOU THINK they're gonna help you sue them??? NO. Ignorant comment.
P.S. Hey, I just wanna make a living.... think I'll go serve sketchily cooked foods to people... becasue ya know, who cares about legitimacy and safety protocols. By the time they get food poisoning, I'll be long gone... and ya know... I'm just tryin to make a living, right???
bleulesyeux5416~ Nevada can’t keep up with actual crime ( no plates violent crimes or actual crime) let alone this kind of thing, there’s over 20,000 people doing this they catch 3,4 people and try to make a big splash.
CeeJai_K~ no taxi? No car? What you mean stay vigilant? You have thousands of people hustling around? The cops can’t keep up with real crime ( no license plates) everywhere and you think they can keep up with people doing rides? Lmao Las Vegas is not in 1970 ~ population. Taxi to expensive for you? Lmao 😂
I am taxi driver in Las Vegas. I see them every day in downtown Fremont some of them even using tax sign I reported so many times for taxi authority, but nobody cares
This story should go this way. Lyft and Uber our robbing the drivers to the point where they need to do these things to survive in the expensive place call Las Vegas now. How about doing the story on WHY... Lyft and Uber are charging 3 times more and paying the drivers pennies.
Do you do Uber/Lyft?? I've been full time for seven years... still five stars... and I make $30-40hr literally just picking people up and taking them where they're going. No meetings. No side work. Nothing to clean or fold or stock. No managers. No shitty depressing debbie downer coworkers. I make $7000mo doing Uber alone these days. Yeah, I'm being "robbed" lol
Do like some airports in Asia have a fenced off section where people wait for transport and they have a guard taking down license plates as they load also drivers are badged to pickup at the airport something that can be done here,,😊
Safety? Are people disappearing? Why would this lady make such claims? People can do whatever they want they are independent contractors so why do you have a problem with it? You didn’t care taxi paid for medallions and you let Uber Lyft in because you bought stock. But you didn’t care that taxi had all kinds of trouble and was paying fees. Today Uber and lift pays way below a liveable standard. People can drop their friends and pick up their friends whenever they like. This city is one of the most corrupt places in America but when it happens to them they don’t like it. The smart people would have never let Uber or Lyft in now you got holes everywhere and you don’t have enough cops to baby sit ~ karma is a female k9…..
If they have a license plate in my state that says livery then they are cool….but $$$ but they typically drive black suvs. They also dont go by uber lanes but share with taxi line.
You got 5, people working for the taxi authority lmao you can’t even keep no license plate drivers off the street let alone people doing rides ~ you might bust them when it’s super slow but when you’re busy { March forward until September) from here on out it’s very slow only new years lmao 😂

No need to blur faces, there is no expectation of privacy at a public place like the airport.

rideshare drivers are already underpaid, then these jerks
Simply take a taxi 🚕
Agree we have went back to real taxies,they been around many years here in Vegas it worth a few bucks more to be safe
I can't believe the news station MISSPELLED the word prey. It's prey upon, NOT pray upon. This is what journalism has become in our country.
AND THOSE CASH DRIVERS BLOCK TRAFFIC AND CAUSE CHAOS ITS A MESS IN EVERY STATE
The ride share drivers don’t stand where you wait
Just use taxi

Uber and Lyft both do a pretty thorough background check. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Just use our lical taxie service been here since i am here o er 50 years..
ive used them never had a problem they want to get paid instead of a pittance that lyft or uber pays them
Report on actual crime, not this nonsense.

Finally !! THOSE TCP DRIVERS HAVE TO BE STOPPED
THEY DOUBLE CHARGE THE POOR PASSENGERS.
As a local, when I leave the airport I ONLY use Uber or Lyft. I hope everyone stays vigilant.
CeeJai_K~ no taxi? No car? What you mean stay vigilant? You have thousands of people hustling around?
