    Flat rate taxi fare from Charlotte airport: $25. Uber fare back to the airport: $11.44. Competition is a good thing.

      @BenVolin and, in Boston you're going to use @fasten because of Uber's disturbing business practices, right? Uber rips off drivers.

      @BenVolin yes but not when you regulate and charge huge fees to one and not the other. Either regulate and charge or don't.

      @BenVolin Uber is losing several mil$/qtr to drive away taxis. How is this different from offshoring American jobs?

      @BenVolin you mean the part where they spend capital to force their competition out of business?

      @BenVolin @JoeBanner13 Except that Uber is losing millions of $. Maybe why they are trying driverless cars.
