Fuck I miss Uber. I used it all the time when I was in New York. The local government won't allow it because they're trying to protect the local cab companies. For quite a while there, Uber was giving away free rides while they negotiated with the government but once they realized it was going nowhere, they completely pulled out of Alaska. Uber would pay the drivers directly, but passengers weren't required to pay a thing.
