Our town has outlawed it and is pretty serious in the enforcement. Any non-taxi caught picking someone up for a "fare" is given a ticket on the spot. I'm guessing the ticket is for operating a taxi service without the proper licenses, etc.. it's probably easier to enforce in a town like mine because there is one main area that every one eats and drinks so the cops know where to look for these Uber drivers.
Ive never used one but my friends have said good things about it.
Our town has an ordinance that requires every cab to actually have an operational video camera inside the taxi. So the city thought it was unfair to let Uber drivers bypass these rules and others.
This is a good question. I realize it wouldn't really be feasible to do this for like 20-50 people but say you got a few regular business travelers who like you, couldn't you just cut the middle man out with them? I doubt they would care and since their trips are scheduled in advanced you would have ample time to plan around them.
Probably wouldn't be smart to do it for more than a few people though. You never know who could start snitchin, even Sammy the Bull snitched
Uber has enough clout now to where they should get into a gas program like those truck driving companies do.
Anyone who drives with uber would have a partnership with ABC gas company to where anyone with an Uber card gets X amount discount when they fill up.
