I was trying to figure out why people would use this over Uber.
Then, I remembered a Facebook post from some hometown friends about Uber. The article was about an Uber rider who had a violent encounter with the driver. It's rare, but very sad. The comments were half sympathy for the victim and the other half questioning how Uber is ever safe. After all, you're getting into a strangers car.
For people in more suburban areas that don't have / use Uber or public transit, I think there's a lot of distrust towards the ride share concept. The drivers aren't seen as people doing a job, but just strangers. The whole thing can feel sketchy and unsafe.
That's why the Minnie Vans are kind of brilliant. It's the exact same concept as Uber. But, the drivers will be seen as Disney employees, not randos.
As long as Disney doesn't try to block Uber + Lyft rides on property, I really don't care. It'll make the roads feel a little more interesting too with all the Disney cars around.
