Taxis are way better than cabs in New York City, especially Manhattan. When you order an uber you get someone one block away but instead of being able to run and catch him you have to wait half an hour for him to go around the block. Meanwhile you can stick your hand up and get a car to pull over within one second. NYC cabs even take NFC. the other thing is that uber drivers are all amateurs who are new and probably got some kind of payment incentive. taxi drivers in NYC are much better, much more aggressive drivers who can get you around town MUCH faster
