You do realize that you cannot get Uber and its' kin without a computer or a SmartPhone.... you can't just pick up a landline telephone to get it....

Of course. I've no idea what you're getting at. Not every service is the same, or should they be.

Detroiters using DDOT.... you telling them to be innovative.... at current prices would they be likely to afford having a SmartPhone to use one of your suggested alternatives? Your comment came across in a "let them eat cake" way...

Ah, thanks. Didn't intend to be pushing online services, just alternatives. Was thinking more jitney than Uber. Don't see why DDOT needs a monopoly is all.

Thanks.
