Hailo or similar works reliably for on demand cabs. It's the "call in an wait" system that's dying. In cities where taxi regulations are not very taxing on (eg London's The Knowledge, New York Medallions) Uber found a way around them. They also added a convenient UI, but that works just as well for regular cabs.
Anyway, Uber is cabs, for any sane definition of them.

And that's not trying to be cheeky; there are very good reasons tfor the historically lighter regulation of livery service (where the customer has to ask for and pay for the ride through a central booker who monitors the transaction) vs cabs in the above sense of the term.
