I'm surprised that Uber isn't available in Starkville. I'm sure that on Gamedays and such it would be really good to have, also any time that someone is drinking. Basically it's a user-sourced "taxi" service. Everything is done over the phone and someone has to go through and extensive background check before being able to drive with Uber. Also, all Uber drivers have to have insurance. If their insurance lapses, they're immediately no longer available. I'm sure those who live in bigger cities could testify to Uber's advantages over regular Taxis. Also, Uber is cheaper to use than Taxis.
