I went to a birthday party in Parkwood the other night and when we arrived (in an Uber taxi) we found the street in front of the house empty; not a car in sight. Inside, there were already 40 people having a hugely wild time. Everyone used Uber. Driving home, we spotted a dozen Ubers taking people to and fro. As a concerned commuter who finds the driving and behaviour of minibus taxis to be abhorrent, I wish Uber could in some way take over this renegade industry and introduce the Uber mentality — one of owner-drivers who are sedate, mature and obey the rules of the road.
