zooke1 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 Hello everyone, in this topic i want to introduce an idea, i don't know if it was brought into discussion before but this is my version. The UBER company would bring a PLUS for the ROLEPLAY INTERRACTIONS between players. I would recommend implemeting an APP on the phone where you can see available UBER drivers and the cars they are using / Price per KM or for a simple version adding a command in the chat like /uber /requestuber but i would go with the first idea. UBER company should have 1 manager and something like a headquaters when people can get the approbation to start having UBER affiliaton and there should also be a competitive price for DCC, higher maybe due to players wanting to be taken somewhere in better or just different cars than those used by DCC and at the end of the ride, a percent to be transfered into the company's treasury. RENT-A-CAR company would give a better alternative to the boring and slow CITYBEE, also unsafe. It could be just a company with one owner which would have to buy some cars, painted in one colour and make them rentable, if possible, adding longer renting periods, up to one week for a specific price or just renting a car for 1 hour or so, not like the CITYBEE system where you are taxed / km driven and at some point the scooter despawns, i really believe that it would be a success, considering many players can't afford to buy a car just to go to their job or whereever they have to go for lower costs. With these being said, i strongly agree that everyone can come up with better ideas regarding these two and i really wish people will respond with no hate, helping the community to improve by sharing their ideas with us.

How can UBER be used in a criminal activity / a rentable car because it could also be registred on the renter's name for the police.

If someone rents it for 1 hour... Imagine someone renting a Schafter V12 for 2 hours. They just use it for hang shit, felony evading (as it's a fast car) and more stuff. City bee's are limited to 70 now, so no one use them for other things then transport. No point of felony evading on those. "RENT-A-CAR company would give a better alternative to the boring and slow CITYBEE, also unsafe" Current Citybee's are also unsafe because of OTHER drivers. Edited January 22, 2019 by Yputi

Well of course we re not talking about sport cars, maybe some Oracles, Exemplar, some old cars like Ingot, Stainer, nothing too fast or eye catching
Scott Cleverley Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 -1 We have a city bee. And anyways it feels that people have way too good cars. Would be nicer to see people with more realisic cars not everyone owning good ones.
Denni Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 -1. Has been suggested before and I agree with the people above.
MusketDeezNuts Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 The citybee used to be a car. But was changed on the amount of VDM's it produced.
Xoza Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) -1 Though An Panto maxed at 100 kph would be a great addition to city bee, maybe at an increased cost? Edited January 22, 2019 by Xoza
Vetro Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 I think the uber is a good idea even as a taxi driver it would be cool but kinda ruin it for taxi drivers. I think you should be able to rent different vehicles aswell, like a 4 person car or something instead of having 4 persons driving around on each their scooter. Its more realistic. But maybe limit the speed of it and fee you if you don't return it in some sort of time limit
alexalex303 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) It would kill DCC while not providing anything that CityBees or Taxis don't already do. -1 Edited January 22, 2019 by Darnell

ChuckM Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 While I like the idea of more jobs and maybe even competition for DCC, as of now there would be nothing stopping an Uber driving from robbing a passenger or using the car to commit other crimes. The vetting process of getting hired and trained for an official faction weeds out most of the criminals.
