This is such a good point. Uber has normalized the taxi experience. Hailing cabs in different cities across the world can be stressful. I remember the streets in Abu Dhabi being huge and getting a taxi was pretty competitive at certain times of the day and hoping that one would even come by. I love that I don't have to deal with dispatchers and how wildly inaccurate they were (almost always on the late side). In fact if a city had Uber service I would be potentially more likely to visit knowing that getting around would be that easy and not creepy like you mentioned.
