Oh, shame. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving company.

Really?Â* And general minicabs were well known for being safe, and part
of well run companies that weren't involved in serious criminality
and/or used for laundering money by their criminal owners?Â* All
allegedly of course.


Uber drivers committed 2/3 of the minicab rapes, while only being 1/3 of
the minicab drivers, which makes their drivers 4 times as rapey as the
average minicab driver.

And I think that Uber has been negligent in reporting crimes committed by
its drivers.
