TLC drivers are everywhere in JC. Just take a look at license plates the next time you’re out and about.

I take Uber to work in midtown Manhattan semi frequently because it’s much faster than taking public transit at 6am.

Most of the time, I get a driver with TLC plates on the first try. But it is super frustrating when the app does match me with someone who doesn’t have TLC plates. It’s made me late for work a few times.

Uber could easily solve this problem by tweaking the code to at least give passengers the option to filter out non-TLC plates.

as said before

>back to the same point. drivers that lives in NJ with NYC TLC plates, they got it so they can work in NEW YORK CITY... not so they can drive back and forth NJ/NY all day. once again, this TLC restriction is a NYC problem and Uber really doesnt care if a driver cancel on u after he found out ur traveling cross state because he doesnt feel like wasting his time. blame this on NYC needing a TLC to work in their area.
