Uber does okay with Houston! It's working out between the new technology of ride hailing apps and…read morethe old Taxi system. Uber generally gets me to where I wanna go in Houston for relatively cheap, considering the sheer size of this city. There always seem to be people available nearby and have never had to wait more than 15 minutes for a ride or so. Prices are going up. It seems like the drivers are getting pinched more and more. The drivers are often interesting people. You don't really know who you're going to get- it's fun chatting them up, but some just wanna be left alone. I wish there was a setting in the app to let you or the driver know if the other person would rather be left alone. This city is big, that you have to watch it- going from, say, NRG stadium, to the Woodlands could be an expensive endeavor.

Uber markets itself as a beacon of speed, convenience, and innovation, but beneath the glossy…read moreveneer lies a stark truth: the people who move riders and revenue--the drivers--are bearing an unsustainable cost. The current economic model props up a tech platform at the expense of the very workers who provide the service. It is time to reframe ridesharing as a fair marketplace where drivers earn a livable wage after expenses, with transparent economics, reasonable protections, and a path to collective bargaining. First, the present takings are untenable. Drivers frequently report that after platform fees, service charges, surge pricing adjustments, tips, and other pass-through costs, their take-home pay dwindles well below what justifies the hours spent behind the wheel. Uber and similar platforms may tout transparency, but the reality is that hidden surcharges and opaque fare calculations erode the share that should rightly belong to the driver. In many markets, deductions routinely approach or exceed 50 percent of gross rideshare revenue, leaving drivers negotiating margins that barely cover fuel, maintenance, insurance, depreciation, and taxes. This is not a fair marketplace; it is a system that rewards scale and data science while penalizing the very workers who perform the essential labor. Second, the cost of living in the United States compounds this problem. In urban centers where ridesharing is most prevalent, housing, healthcare, insurance, vehicle costs, and fuel are expensive, and these costs climbing year after year. For many drivers, rideshare income is not a supplemental wage but a principal source of income for households. When earnings fail to meet a livable standard, families face stress, debt, and precarious financial stability. The oft-touted "flexibility" of ridesharing comes at a steep price: long hours behind the wheel, relentless vehicle wear and tear, and income volatility that makes budgeting nearly impossible. This isn't a corporate victory--it's a social and economic failure that undervalues the essential role drivers play in moving people, commerce, and communities. Third, the path forward must center drivers as stakeholders, not disposable inputs. The evidence is clear: sustainable, long-term viability for ridesharing requires fair compensation, predictable earnings, and robust protections. A credible solution will involve robust collective action--whether through traditional unions, modern labor coalitions, or worker-owned cooperative models--that can negotiate for fair minimum earnings after expenses, transparent and auditable fare splits, and stable incentives that reduce income volatility. If formal unionization remains challenging in the near term, drivers can still pursue coalitions to negotiate better terms, or explore cooperative platforms that share profits more equitably. An ecosystem that privileges the driver's welfare--while maintaining safety, quality, and reliability for customers--creates a healthier business model for all parties. Fourth, there is a viable pathway to reducing unnecessary platform margins without sacrificing safety and service quality. A system that enables direct driver-to-customer communication could, in theory, reduce commission costs, but it must be designed to preserve safety, payment integrity, and regulatory compliance. Practical avenues include a driver-to-customer marketplace with transparent, flat-rate fees and strong safety protocols; a driver-network feature within existing booking apps that allows opt-in cooperative pricing with clear indicators of reliability; and independent contractor arrangements that empower drivers to set boundaries and negotiate terms collectively. The objective is not to isolate drivers from customers but to create a fairer intermediary framework where value is shared rather than siphoned away. Finally, if Uber remains a U.S.-based company, it bears a responsibility to reflect the living costs and wage standards of American workers. A fair-pay framework must acknowledge the true cost of living in major markets, ensuring a livable wage after expenses, along with benefits and long-term financial security. The path forward should include transparent accounting of earnings and deductions, meaningful channels for collective bargaining and worker representation, and substantive investments in driver welfare--such as fuel efficiency programs, maintenance support, insurance subsidies, and safety enhancements. An ethical, sustainable rideshare model would not merely chase growth metrics or investor returns; it would recognize the indispensable contribution of drivers and reward them with a decent living wage.

When I called the driver phone number on the confirmation he stated that he was not the driver and told me to call office. I called office and was told a driver change was made at the last moment. The Lexus had damage on the rear bumper and exhaust pipe was hanging out. We had two bags and a two personal items which did not fit in the smaller trunk of the Lexus. Driver was not very friendly and was speeding. At one point I turned on Waze to track speed and we were doing 75 in a 50. I called the office again and was told the owner would call me and discuss. It's now been 12 days and no call or text. I recommend not using this business as the experience described on the website is not at all what is delivered. Just use Lyft or Uber for personal transportation as the experience delivered by A&D Transportation is actually worse or on par and costs more.

Booked this service for our wedding, and I would highly recommend them.

He helped us load and unload some things onto the vehicle, and took great care driving when I told him my wife's show piece cake could not be damaged. Excellent job.
