    Oh boy 😂

    Edit - I should explain

    Uber never rolled out service to the airport because it wasn’t profitable enough, that would be the only reason

    The few remaining taxi drivers still in work after Uber destroyed their industry won’t go to the airport, for the same reason Uber didn’t. But now the taxi drivers are even less likely to go there as they’re forced to go where the money is, wherever that may be

    Let’s face it, if you ever used Uber to save yourself a few dollars, it was at Uber’s expense; they made a loss on it

    Now the taxi drivers have gone, they have a monopoly and have quadrupled their prices

    As they say, there’s never one flake of snow that thinks it was responsible for an avalanche
