Philadelphia journalist went undercover as an Uber driver — here's how much she made

18. My mother and I don't have a car

My sister tries to drive her to the supermarket, but now my sister was also left without a car. So my mother tries to use a courtesy shuttle in our neighborhood that goes to the supermarket once a week, but sometimes the shuttle breaks down

Shopping for groceries and carrying them on a transit bus is a hassle, especially for an elderly woman.

So she takes a bus to the supermarket, and calls a cab to take her home. She has done this twice. Both times the cab never shows up. After waiting (once for over four hours), she finally gets on a cab that just happened to stop at the supermarket. The trip cost her $20.00

So she tried Uber, which arrived in less than 10 minutes, with a super courteous driver. The ride cost her $9.00

Are you disgusted by her for not wanting to go through that ordeal of calling a cab, just to pay more?

What is she supposed to do?
