Maybe you should worry more or be more aware of your surroundings. You might walk in front of a car or something

Just use a normal taxi, I don't get the point in uber. Just flag one down.

I've not used Uber in central London though.

Samm 04-08-2016 09:50 PM

I don't trust getting in a car with a stranger, would freak me out!

EspeonBB 04-08-2016 09:51 PM

You'll just give yourself a heart attack with all the stress. :blush: I'm very aware of my surroundings and I don't feel the need to scaremonger on a forum, lol. Something tells me the gang members aren't after Mr. Tom* from thisisbigbrother.com.

You can't go to London and not experience the tube imo

I am going to experience it, I'm just thinking on the 2nd day where i'll be taking luggage with me it might be an idea so i'm not like lugging it around everywhere

LukeB 04-08-2016 09:56 PM

Daniel-X 04-08-2016 09:57 PM

To add to this my friend, went in a uber car after a night out, the guy was making a convo with her and he started to get more creepy and creepy with his talking making sexual remarks. When the car stopped at her house he locked the doors and try to make a move on her. Lucky she was able to push him away and the left car door in the back wasn't unlocked (the door she was next to) so she ran out.

I don't think I'll ever trust uber tbh

All jokes aside, I hope you have fun :wavey:

the truth 05-08-2016 01:20 AM

their drivers and cars are NOT registered NOT regulated NOT checked by the local councils their meters Their safety checks are NOT the same as all other drivers and taxis, they are NOT calibrated like all taxis so you may be charged way more 3 days later when they debir your card

:eek: So he's excited to get an Uber but afraid to walk around London?

I LOVE Uber, but it's addictive which is bad cause towards the end of this last uni year I was using it up to three or four times a day :worry:

I expect it's far more expensive in London though but if you're willing to pay you shouldn't be disappointed. Re: picking a car, we only have X available but every driver I speak to is really friendly and talkative and on a couple of occasions I've been asked if I want the radio station changed, one guy even told me to tell him if I wanted the temperature changed :laugh: I also got offered water and chocolate by another. And if you're lucky enough to get in a car with Spotify enabled you can play your own music via Bluetooth which is fun

I don't worry too much about unregistered drivers either but I think that's more of an issue in the bigger cities (sorry oop), most of the ones I speak to defected from the other minicab company which had a monopolised stranglehold over the market, and the complaints are all the same - that they have their favourite drivers and give them the better jobs, they get treated awfully and they have to do shifts whereas with Uber they clock on and off when they want, it finds you the nearest car which is better for the customer as well as them and the clientele is a lot better

Flag one down? Babe he isn't going to New York. Also uber is so much cheaper, it's stupid to use a normal Cah when the option is there.
