Re: "Unlike Lyft, Uber changes the tokens it uses..identify drivers, to prevent such tracking."
you want bad bus service?
try anywhere not a major metro. even in California. I'm not even an hour south of San Francisco but services are practically useless. limited scheduled runs and even those are completely missed often. Sitting at a bus stop during a weekday afternoon, when busses are scheduled to run every half hour...for an hour and a half...and no bus even comes by on the route. that's just for starters.
No excuses for such considering the budget and promises of using all that tax money to actually make the city's services useful for anyone with a job or schedule to keep.
