At the very least, it will take forever. The last time I tried to call a cab they told me it would take at least 45 minutes for a cab.
It was easier to call a friend and ask for a ride.
I’m trying to figure out how this law could work. Don’t freelance writers sell to several different outlets? If an outlet buys a story from the freelancer, do they have to keep paying until a different outlet buys a story from the freelancer, then the new outlet pays?
I was under the impression that Uber drivers already could decline a ride. That is, someone who wants a ride says so on Uber, then Uber drivers say yes they can deliver that ride or no they can’t. I’ve never used Uber.
In re declining a ride,
1. The uber driver does not initially know where the rider is going.
2. He can cancel if he wants, but, Uber will drop you as a driver if you cancellation rate is over five percent or something.
As for taxis
1. I don’t know where the ride is going, either (I used to drive uber and drive a cab now)
2. I forbidden by law to decline a ride unless accepting it would keep me from turning in my cab in time. It is easy to report me to a live person at my company or at the MTA (my number is plastered all over my cab). I’d get a hearing but if I don’t give a good reason I will lose my A card (license to drive a cab)
Now it may be different in your city I don’t know.
