In the year 2000 and something transportation had to change. In what way do you ask? Well, you have a Taxi’s and limos.
Taxi’s
Here is a taxi
I remember watching a show called Taxi, yea this is dating me a little bit. But, if you lived in a big City then it was just great. But what about the smaller cities. People still need to get around right.
Limo’s
Here is a limo
These things are the richer people in life, not people like me. Once again people who can’t afford the Limo’s or live where there aren’t any taxi’s
Small towns
So how would one get around in a small town? That is a question that should be answered. But, this wasn’t why Uber was invented.
History
It was founded by two people that after spending $800 dollars hiring a private driver they were thinking there has been a better way to do transportation.
So they came up with Uber.

Opinion
Of course you will have my opinion Uber is a good idea as people need to go places, and people need money so why not. I have no problem with this technology. I embrace it, we’ll all expect for the food delivery services.
