Man have you heard of Uber? If one has an emergency there are solutions to your convoluted example, you know.

Have you used Uber? Last time, I was stuck waiting on the sidewalk for 30 minutes as my request got passed from driver to driver. It's fine when they're quick, but when your solution to "I need to go somewhere now" is to rely on borderline slave labor who don't have to pick you up if they don't like where you are, it's not great.
