The option of paying with Bitcoin is always welcome, but with such services there is always one small drawback when it comes to classic BTC transactions - waiting for the first confirmation. Unlike online shopping where the waiting time can still be extended - imagine waiting more than 30 minutes or 3 hours for the driver to confirm your transaction - and somehow it doesn’t seem to me that a service like this would work on trust - because some would certainly use it for a double-spend transactions. Of course there is a solution in the form of Lightning Network, which solves not only the speed of the transaction, but also the problem of high fees.

As for Uber, I’ve never used it because it’s only available in some parts of my country - but what I know for sure is that they are constantly in some sort of conflict with other taxi services because they accuse them of being unfair competition.

Considering how slowl the bitcoin confirmations could get sometimes, I'm imagining a perfect scenario either to pay before boarding their vehicle, at the transit or immediately after dropping off the taxi. Incorporating bitcoin and crypto payment is a great idea,  though from the two tweets the CEO isn't very certain whether it is happening soon or not.

If Uber takes Bitcoin into consideration as a payment option, so they will also have to consider other cryptocurrency because their a lot of project that are more fast and innovative than bitcoin and also charge less gas fee.

This can be bullish after Tesla, Mastercard and Visa news, but problem with Bitcoin now being accepted by UBER and other similar business is high transaction fees, and without some usable second layer solution I can just imagine pissed people complaining why UBER charged them so much more or why waiting so much for confirmation.
Lightning Network is not even near expected adoption and it is still complicated for average UBER customer, so they should be ready for premium fees.

I think UBER wanted to play itself.  They believe that they cannot ignore the trend of Bitcoin and if they do they are missing good sales in their platform but they do not want to invest money because they know how volatile BTC is.  So instead of directly investing in Bitcoin, they decided to just accept it on their platform and let their customer use it while raking fees from the transactions.  Neverheless, this  is still a very good promotion that can hype investors into joining the Bitcoin wagon.

That would be the last thing they would want to do. Tesla has costly cars and hence they can accept bitcoin payments since the transaction fees wouldn't that big a deal when buying so costly cars.
On the other hand, if Uber accepts bitcoin, that won't be good for them since the transaction fees will be more than the charges of the rides and the food.
It won't be a cost effective deal unless they are planning to launch their own cryptocurrency or planning to accept some other cryptocurrency with lesser transaction fees.

Maybe it's just hype and chatter... I don't think paying by bitcoin for cab services is a good idea! It's not economically beneficial to anyone... And what to do, for example, if a trip is cancelled? And in some countries, the cost of the trip equals the transaction fee!

Bitcoin and Ether - big nope. Imagine paying a $20 ride with Bitcoin or Ether and paying $60 in taxes

Maybe UBER can accept coins like TRON where the transaction fee is close to none, or even better, a TRC-20/Waves/Solana stable coin?

I think this is good, but Uber has to provide only via LN so that transactions can be processed quickly and cheaply...
We know that the fees for ordinary transactions are very high because the value of Bitcoin continues to increase and LN is able to reduce the fees charged. it will be great in the future.

I think it's a cool feature. It's time for companies to introduce the implamente of paying with bitcoin. The first was pornhub, now is uber. The world doesn't stand still and it's nice to know
