TJ--I have no idea why you think that Uber would be more trustworthy than cabbies, but so far, there is no such thing on SXM.

I think my point was that, even if there were such a thing on SXM, to expect there to be an online ratings system, etc., on SXM is stretching it. It's actually been a few years since I've taken a cab ride on SXM, so I don't know whether most have change or not. The only cab ride I have taken in recent years was with Wilfred Brooks, who is a professional in all respects.

When the island can't get the airport up and running at full speed after 7 years, I would not hold my breath for Uber or anything else like that.

https://www.uber.com/global/en/cities/10,000 cities in the world have Uber. The majority I’ve never heard of like Chittagong, Bangladesh. A few countries have their own equivalent like “Grab” in Singapore. It would be simple for SXM to get it but Im sure some protective laws prevent it. Paris has Uber as does much of France. Amsterdam has it. Is not SXM France and Netherlands-“ish”? People have cars, UBER has the app, people have credit cards. Seems simple.
