Do you travel much? Domestically or internationally? Calling an Lyft/Uber from an airport in a foreign country and having it just work is honestly magical for those who remember what INTL travel was like before these apps.



Not much no. Most of the places I travel have fairly good public transport options. Still, I was under the impression that it was fairly common for airports and even credit card providers to assist in such matters. I'm not sure I support the worsening of my local taxi service so that it's easier for tourists to book a taxi in Sri Lanka.

Replacing existing services with a massively unprofitable and yet more expensive alternative doesn't exactly strike me as a net positive. That's before we even begin to consider the ethical concerns raised by the criminal activities of the company and it's executives.
