I take cabs and cars everyday in Manhattan. It is as hard or harder to get a yellow cab than it has been in the 25 years I have lived in the city. My routine goes like this; if I can't get a cab in 10 minutes, I get an Uber. I end up taking Uber a lot more than I would like but that is just how it is. I am not only trying during rush hour and rain storms. Even in "light" volume hours getting a medallion cab is not easy. The providers that have been hurt the most by Uber are the old gypsy cab companies. These were TLC "black cars", usually beat up old town cars that were dispatched by radio. Their system of radios and dispatchers has been decimated by Uber. The drivers of those cars have in large part become Uber drivers.
