Agreed. My point was merely that this is a great move from the consumer perspective, one that I doubt other companies will follow.



Yeah it is a great move. I think the other companies will follow suit once they have an incident that causes the same level of bad PR that Uber has experienced. Once it starts to cut into their profits they will jump on board, sadly it always comes down to money.


The other thing you can do is reward the companies that lead on these issues with your business so you encourage others to do the same.

It's carrots and sticks. If a company doesn't do what you want, try sticks (punish them for not doing what you want) and carrots (reward those that do so others see that they should do the same).
