The advantage that makes them a better alternative to taxis is that when you're out drinking with friends you don't have to have the lightest skin member of the group be the last one to go home because he has to stand in the street to hail the cab and open the door for everyone else while each darker skinned friend waited behind a parked car only to rush out and jump into the cab before the driver could see their epidermis and drive away. Now, everyone can just call their own car to drive them home, in whatever order is convenient.
Say what you will about Travis but at least he picked up anyone and drove them home, even to Harlem. The rest of those fuckers can die homeless for all I care. Fuck yellow cabs, fuck medallion holders, let them starve and their kids too.
