Adam E. here with four fresh reviews, as well as another topic for open discussion. Have you ever used Uber? Where I live, the county government is doing everything they can to ban Uber from the area, and people seem pretty unhappy about it. My mother told me never to get in a car with a stranger, so I haven't used the service, but if you have, what's your experience?
