I live in the south of Taiwan and uber just became available here over the weekend. Taxi service is already good if you speak Chinese. You can call a taxi automated system, give them a street corner, and they will give you a time estimate. It is usually 3 minutes and they show up on time. The benefit uber provides is to foreigners. If you do not speak Chinese, then you previously needed to flag down a cab.
