Consider yourself lucky! If ya wanna ride in a car and wonder if at anytime a motorcycle or other vehicle pulls up and start shooting into the car.........go for it! Take a Uber.....it will be great fun they said! Its not the Uber driver to fear.....its whether the Uber your riding in will be targeted by the taxi cartel.
Please...just because others have Ubered once or twice and escaped un-harmed doesn't mean you should go and put yourself in danger with the current war going on between the Mexican/Cartel mafia taxis and Uber. No....of course you wont hear about it in the press and media because they don't want to effect tourist dollars. Lets not get into the corruption conversation that goes on around here.
Your comments are exaggerated and hysterical. Anyone should do their own research online and can ask their hotel's, dive shops or locals if Uber is safe. Yes, Uber drivers get harassed by taxi drivers just like in many European cities.
