Sucks that they require KYC to use cash payments
Unfortunately Uber-style taxis are a thing where anonymous assholes can cause a lot of problems. Same issue with rentable scooters and Airbnb.
Still better if just Uber has my AML/KYC than a credit card company; I basically always pay Uber with cash when I'm in a country where it is possible.

That’s why there’s a star rating.
Don’t accept a ride request from a low-rated passenger or take the small risk.

Indeed. Uber is MUCH better than traditional taxis where you have no clue if the driver or rider are trouble. No system is perfect but reputation systems can help. Kinda surprised at this response. Same goes for eBay and other services. We have the tools and knowledge to do anarchic transactions with others without a state being the overlord in all our interactions. That's the alternative. No thank you.
