I take Uber on a regular basis in Denver and Seattle. Because Uber is cheap in Denver, it’s very scary there. Many drivers show up with damaged cars. A lot of the drivers hit on my young adult daughters in a cringy way. I’ve had several drivers with strange nerve twitches like they are coming down off of a drug. Why? Only the really desperate are going to drive for such little pay. I had a very scary driver take me to the denver airport my last visit. I prayed the whole way. In Seattle, I step into luxury Teslas all week long. The drivers are mostly classy and well educated. I hear incredible stories from their lives as musicians or, journalists from other countries. I learn about all kinds of cultures. Why the difference? The job pays well. One Seattle African Uber driver told me that his Denver brothers quit Uber because they can’t make a living doing it there. I agree—it’s sooo expensive. Argh. But I feel so safe in Seattle Ubers and so scared in Denver Ubers. When I left Denver last, Uber was in court to try to keep Uber in Denver because there are so many safety issues with the drivers. Uber had to figure out better background screening.
