Re: [WardFive] Re: [Brookland] Uber Cab in Jeopardy

Hello David,
 
We are all with you on having Cabs (especially cheaper Cabs) in Brookland.  Do you know how many times I have had to be the Cab Driver for my Guest at the Brookland Inn?  Like Mr. Peloquin said, all these decisions are affecting all of us.  But while you want accessibility for you, why is it that you want to limit education and other accessibility for others by spending more money on the Trolley System that has to be subsidized??   
 
To answer your question - But why would you take away an option for me?
 
Well your support of the Trolley/street car system is taking away options for our children!!
 
Simple.  The only issue is that you could probably do ok without the Cabs but our children won't do so well with the inferior environments that is being placed upon them.
 
Rob - I am with you!!

As someone who needs to take a lot of cabs for work and finds it nearly impossible to get them to come pick me up in Brookland, I'm a HUGE fan of Uber and would give them whatever support I can with their regulatory issues.

Someone mentioned the streetcars. Happy to have those too. Now that the tracks are already installed on H St. NE, let's get that thing up and running already! I'm in favor of pretty much all transit options.

But I really don't understand the opposition to Uber. Why should we do the bidding of cab companies that refuse to come to Ward 5? These cab companies provide crappy service to us! As an alternative, we have a company that is a customer service paradise and is happy to patronize our neighbors. Are people really opposed to an alternative? If you don't like it, don't use it. But why would you take away an option for me? My only realistic option when I need to rely on having a car comem to my house to pick me up.
