Since I’ve been somewhat shitting on Uber tonight let me acknowledge one very important thing Lyft and them do so much better than taxi companies, realize that black people’s money spends just as well as everyone else’s.

Everytime I try to give the yellow taxis in NYC a chance, I realize that I should just stick to Uber and Lyft. This taxi driver just said that he doesn’t want to go in my direction. It’s almost comical.

Been telling folks for years, the taxi industry did this to themselves.

Uber & Lyft and other E-hail services do not flourish if yellow taxis kept clean cars, weren’t rude, and most important ACTUALLY PICKED UP BLACK CUSTOMERS!!!! https://t.co/t4hUMlXOoh
