Uber's were the safe way to go when it came to getting around Chicago. There were other modes of transportation such as buses, taxis, and even personal transportation. However, all were out of the question in terms of affordability and schedule flexibility.
Three college friends who all attend Riddendale University of Chicago, all depended on the world renowned app Uber to safely get them to and from all of their destinations.
Routinely, middle-man of the group, Nicholas, would open the Uber app approximately 30 or so minutes before the actual time he needed to be at his destination. He did this to accommodate his lengthy everyday schedule and to slot time for any possible time fracturing occurrences. Undoubtedly, Nicholas was a perfectionist. One day when operating his regular day-to-day Uber routine, he took notice to too many red flags that had occurred rapidly.
The driver was always two minutes away.... and somehow the same driver seemed to be that far away when Nicholas was requesting an Uber.
This was the first of many things to trigger Nicholas's undying nerve to crack his Uber Scare code...
