Well, this might be a locally constrained point of view and doesn't have to hold true in other countries. But in my country, people don't use Uber because Uber is great, people use Uber because Taxis are awful. - The vehicles are mostly quite old (which is strange in this country where private vehicles on the road are relatively new). - Many of the taxis are in bad hygienic conditions (many times dirty, practically always smelly). - Many taxi drivers, are uneducated and impolite and just won't shut up and let you have the ride you paid for in peace, some of them are plainly rude some times. - The taxi drivers will make it difficult or even sometimes outright deny a receipt of the trip at the end. - One of our best journals (i.e. the less sensationalist ones) made a research 2 years ago and found out that 80% of the taxi rides from the airport to the town would overcharge the costumer if he presented himself as a foreigner.
