My opinion (and I know this varies):
* The service is superior to a cab 100% of the time. It's never worse. Ever. The margin of "better" is not small.
* I use to use Uber regularly in three cities[1].
* In one, Orlando, prices from the airport are the same as a cab _but_ the only cars available from the airport are Lux, meaning they are on par with most black car services at a fraction of a black car price.
* In another city, Sydney, Uber x is literally 50% of the price of a cab during "peak" hour (most nights).
* In the third city, NY, Uber X is just slightly less than a cab but the delta in service level is immense.
Yes, I would pay 2x.
1. I'm currently not using Uber. I think this article is doom & gloom with no value, however, I do think that Uber's leadership is transparently fully of ass hats who have no intention of cleaning up the company's culture. I'm sitting out because of the culture and leadership, not because I think they will eventually fail. I hope they fix their shit and succeed for all of the reasons I've outlined.
