Except taxis take cash and don’t track your trips in an irreovacble database. I’ll take anonymous transport whenever it’s a reasonable option.
All fun and games until you are given a ride around town and asked for x times your cash
You ever had that happen in the post GPS in your pocket era? If so, how (lots of alcohol?).
if you have your gps on in your pocket, what difference does it make whether Uber/Lyft is tracking you or Google/Apple?
assuming of course you are looking at your map, which is either google maps, waze or apple maps
You can run GPS w/out a cell signal. GPS is not tracking you. Also, it’s more of just a question of premise. I’ve taken a lot of cabs and never had this issue and it’s hard to imagine them thinking they will get away with driving shenanigans in the modern era. Has this happened to you or just an old boomer tale?
Taxis literally refused to take us after arriving in Budapest because we speak Hungarian and one of us studied there so had the Budapest accent too and everyone of them was all of a sudden busy and waiting for someone (they were literally just standing around smoking)
The original commenter was complaining about privacy issues with ridesharing apps, so I am not sure what cell signal has to do with anything? Having gps on is literally useless unless you check your google maps or waze or something that you are not taken on a ride around and all of those track you so have the same privacy issues as alluded to by the original commenter I don’t think I can make my point any clearer.
Also if you think this doesn’t happen in less developed countries then you are extremely naive.
You either don’t understand what literally means or don’t understand GPS.
thank you for contributing nothing to the conversation
?
Taxis like to scam tourists.
And you think that’s not possible with rideshare? All they have to do is drive through a “checkpoint” and split whatever they get from you. To Uber the driver was a victim too.
Yeah
Which is why I prefer them.
And you leave your phone at home right?
Where the fuck are you going, or what are you doing, to where you don’t want your taxi trips tracked?
I understand privacy and stuff, but sometimes people take it and “muh freedoms” way too seriously overboard.
Whores and coke.
He’s visiting your mom (punishable by death)
After my comment do you think I’m the type to disclose that to you?
Let’s put it another way. How much do you think you should be paid to have your movements tracked?
