This is not the fault of Uber. Capitalism encourages competition and innovation and taxis have remained unchallegened for decades. The responsibility here is on NYC TLC to adapt. The medallion system is painfully archaic.

Government over regulation & shortsighted taxi companies are fault here, not Uber. If taxi cab drivers weren’t forced by the state to buy ridiculously priced medallions & taxi companies actually stepped into the 21st century by creating usable mobile apps they could compete.

Tragic. Uber and Lfyt are unregulated. Drivers have no stake in the company. Kind of like hitchhiking but you have to pay. Save the iconic yellow NYC taxi.

If the industry hadn’t spent decades ignoring blk folks complaints of poor service, or in many cases, no service, they wouldn’t be in such a pickle now.

Wouldn’t becoming an Uber or Lyft driver been a better plan B? Just sayin’...I’m saddened by the news but I also think the rationale for suicide is weak and only a fraction of the story

Me either but my kids do all the time. Too many horror stories about the drivers for me

Oh please. Again with this hypersensitive culture of entitlement.

Learn a trade. It's critical for the future especially when AI and automation speed up. You'll need to fix the machines that supply you with stuff.
