I had my concerns about using what I considered to be a non-taxi taxi. To me, if I were to pay for a ride in a car, the car had to have a beacon on the roof. As well there should be a meter inside. I was somewhat flexible in that I would not worry about the cab’s colour though it would add reassurance if it were yellow.
I opened the app and tried to order the Uber ride. I keyed in my destination “Finch station.” I thought that would suffice. Those magic words after all work with a taxi.Express pool was the cheapest. The catch however read, “Starts and ends with a short walk.” Those words sounded a bit broad, arbitrary and uncertain. To save $4.23 I did not want to risk having to hike to Timbuktu.Once I confirmed the order some interesting activity took place on my cellphone.
I needed reassurance. I queried in a shaky voice, “Henry?” He nodded yes. That was the most reassurance I could expect. I entered the vehicle.
