Soon you won't need to use their spyware app at all and will be able to just flag down one of the drivers on the street. Maybe they'll even have a special color vehicle to indicate which ones; like a bright yellow so it will stand out.
- What brave new world is this?
Next, larger vehicles that pick up and drop people off on predetermined routes.
Wonder how long it will be until they start getting robbed. Most drivers are immigrants who won't be able to legally purchase a firearm and won't have mechanisms in place to keep the cash secure.
You mean taxis?
- Yes, but with a thumb on the scale against the people actually doing the work
  
  Taxis do it too.
