Uber in Vancouver.............

....it's a car service where you order up a car or SUV via an app on your iPhone. Anybody try it ? Comments.

they had a deal with the hopscotch beer and whiskey festival this past weekend offering a special rate to use them. we thought about using it to get from the PNE back to delta, but instead took transit for $2.50 and used the money saved at the pub

the model is intriguing, but it is pricey. I can see it working for business people that don't want to take a cab across town. it's handy being done all from your smartphone and linked to your credit card so you don't have to worry about having cash.

it will be a very niche upscale market, but i think it could catch on.

I like the concept, price could be an issue.
