About the application Uber knows almost every second person between the ages of 18 to 45 years, although, to my surprise, not everyone is still enjoying and trusting this system. Definitely, this system has both pros and cons, in my opinion - more positive.
To interest you, I will write the minimum cost of my trip from the store - 68 rubles. But there are really many advantages.
Therefore, Uber faces competitive pressure in the market of traditional taxi services. Its expansion can be compared with the growing popularity of taxi corporations in major Polish cities at the end of the last century. It should be emphasized that Inber's innovation is not an indicator of activities aimed at eliminating competition.
Existing regulations require drivers to provide the necessary documents and licenses. Uber checks the certificate of non-imposition, proof of possession of fines and insurance. The car can not be more than 10 years old. Any compensation is paid by driver insurance.
About the application, I learned a long time ago, when only the first news appeared that finally this system of personal drivers had reached Russia. But then everything worked completely differently, that's why it normally installed and tied the card only in half a year, when Uber started to praise my girlfriend. She also gave me promotional code for which you can use one free trip in the equivalent of 500 rubles. And word of mouth is the best advertisement, that's why now, because of the popularity of the application, they give only 300 rubles, but it's still one free or very cheap trip. Free trip extends to Uber premium class - Uber Black.
To assess whether this collateral is sufficient, it also requires analysis by other bodies responsible for passenger transport. Based on the data available on the entrepreneur's website, the consumer does not seem to be misleading by the nature of Uber's business. The terms of service available there were clearly separated, what are the rules of responsibility for Uber and which drivers. He also guarantees that he is not a party to the contract for the provision of transportation services. Therefore, the driver responsible for the transport service ordered by the application is responsible for the service provided by the application.
Of course, I did not want to tie the card to some application, I delayed it for a long time, but in vain!
When they decided to take advantage of it, it turned out that the prices in Ubera are so low that we can whistle and go for a promotional code on a premium car)) We drove on a brand new Mercedes E-class.
The system is very comfortable, especially for girls. Why? Because the order immediately shows the number and model of the machine, which is assigned to order, the driver's photo and its average score, exhibited by other users. And relatives do not worry.
Here it is worth noting that duties such as using a taximeter, displaying information on vehicle rates or meeting maximum tariffs, are designed to protect passengers from fraudulent drivers. Uber reads the price list clearly. Uber reserves the right to change the fees depending on traffic intensity, weather and other factors. The estimated cost does not include fixed rates, discounts or promotions.
The shown routes are only examples and may not reflect the routes from which the cost was estimated. Another important problem is the consideration of complaints. Uber discusses the tax aspect of the competition. In addition, there are questions about whether Uber should pay taxes in Poland as such. For consumers, the emergence of a new carrier means a wider choice, while the rest of the market is a challenge to improve the quality and innovation of their services.
Also on the map in the application in live streaming is shown, which route the system chose to reach its destination, and how you are going, and if the driver deems it necessary to go on a different route, he must first ask the passengers if they agree with the route it offers.
Prices are more than adequate, they are so low that you do not want to wait for a bus or minibus, because it will be cheaper on Uber!)) We also often do not have a car in a large hypermarket in Ubera, we buy and return to Ubera, and at a price of one such a trip - as 2 tickets per minibus! Well, who would prefer to stand in the frost for half an hour, then, with unbearable packages, to jostle there and from the stop to drag myself to home ?!
Drivers are all very nice and polite, while others will not stay for a long time, after all, every customer after a trip must necessarily put an assessment to the driver and you can also add a comment. Also a report is sent to the application and to the mail, if something does not suit you on the trip, you can always write to the support service, which responds very quickly to customers. I was recalculated several times and returned the money. There was such a situation, for example, that the driver was brand new and I stood on the street near the store, and he drove from the yard and called when the free waiting time had already passed. But such cases - a rarity, mostly - the driver, or already sees the point that you have designated, or calls and specifies where to drive.
The truth is there is one minus. He's only one, but his we must take into account -do not order uber, when in the city of traffic jams, the price of this will increase. In the rush hour, I first go to Yandex.Maps, I look at the route number of serious traffic jams, and then I decide to order Uber or order something else, Taxovich, for example. There, the price does not depend on traffic jams at all, although the whole day in them is simple. Nevertheless, in 99% of the trip by taxi - we choose Uber.
It is also not always advantageous to order Uber to the airport and the suburbs, because they have a fixed price of 1000 rubles for this. Someone is profitable (if from the other end of the city to go), but someone is not! For example, the one who lives in an air-port, well, is not it stupid!
It is very convenient that when you order a car, you immediately see how long it will take to wait for the car and where the nearest machines (or to the destination) are located. When the car is already assigned, you see on the map where it is traveling.
Another one convenient nuance - you do not need to know the exact address, which is often a very big problem. The program has geolocation, which itself marks where you are, and you have to move it or leave it as it is.
Here is an example of what the cost will be when traveling from the Moscow railway station to the Ozerki metro station. Quite low for this level of service.
Us Uber is cheaper than any "The cheapest taxi", and even more terribly on them to go: in addition, that drivers do not know the city or language, and the cars in such suspicious taxis are even more suspicious, drivers are not even a fact that they have rights, and even the red light is often on great speed drove. In general, horror for those who do not value themselves.
Therefore, we choose Uber. Separately I want to note that for work in Uber they take drivers only on new foreign cars and with a normal driving experience. Machines in the usual uber come across different - from Kia Rio and Scoda Oktavia to Audi Q7 and Mercedes ML and C-class. Here and so. People work differently, but everything is decent, so it's very pleasant to drive.
Sometimes you think, you think, but to drag along the rain to the bus stop, and then go by subway, and then again in the rain ........ it's better to order Uber!)
Very much I advise !!!
If you do not have a Uber and you still think, download the application, enter the promotional code hatyc to get your free trip and evaluate this system yourself . In the end, the trip will be free, and it's even cheaper than a bus.))
Oh, I almost forgot! There are times when there is very little money on the card, which is not enough for a taxi, there is no cash, and what can I do !? How to live! Well, a little (I once happened) - only the phone in your pocket. In Ubera there is ooooochen useful service - can go one time in a minus. I was saved a couple of times! After that, my loyalty to this program has greatly increased.
Yesterday I was so terribly late for an important event that I seriously dreamed of levitation. But by some miracle I remembered that for a long time I wanted to test the sensational world Uber taxi network. Time for reflection, as you know, was not, I frantically grabbed the phone and shaking with thirst for speed with my hands ordered a taxi.
I must say that I'm not a taxi lover at all, much less on the road - the constant expectation of deception, the fear in principle of traveling alone with an unfamiliar man, the need to control the road and the counter - this is more than enough for me to choose public transport. But Uber - this is really a completely different story, an absolutely ideal option, without exaggeration. And now, it seems, I need to be afraid only of serious addiction to it).
What is Uber so good for travelers?
The most important thing: you do not need to have a cache with you! Do not need to pay directly with the driver! Do not be afraid of deceit!
Imagine - no currency of a foreign country! Simply enter the card data when registering, and at the end of the trip, the required amount is written off from you. The system itself builds a route for the driver, so you see the cost of the trip in advance, before the order, and it will correspond to reality, unless, of course, you get, for example, in a serious traffic jam.
Drivers are interested in traveling exactly along this route, rather than reeling in circles, because if the passenger then notices that a larger amount has been written off from him unreasonably and lodges a complaint, they will simply be fired.
And even if you are traveling with a company, Uber provides a simple option for sharing a travel bill between several people.
The second great moment - do not need to know the numbers of local taxis! No need to call anywhere!
The taxi is ordered through the application in the phone. All you need is Wi-Fi. You imagine - now you can call a taxi in any country where there is a Uber and do it absolutely WITHOUT knowledge of the language! Moreover, you do not need to know the area. GPS will determine your current position, and to determine the point of arrival, you can simply specify the desired location on the built-in map or write the name of the street.
The third is security!
In order to work in Uber, drivers need to verify their identity documents, and passengers evaluate each trip. Irresponsible drivers or neuhozhennye cars here for a long time just do not hold out - workers should have a general rating of at least 4.5 out of 5 possible.
My story about the important event ended perfectly - quietly, without even being out of breath, I entered the necessary office minute-in-minute, looking and feeling at the same time as a true lady.
And now, when everything is already behind, I can more fully show the process of calling a taxi.
