Nothing is inherently "wrong" with taxi's, they're just inefficient. Just like there isn't anything "wrong" with encyclopedias, but why would you waste time looking in an encyclopedia/dictionary when you can just do a google search? That time has value, and if you choose to waste time, you're choosing to throw away money. That being said, taxis have an advantage of being available if people don't have a phone or it's uncharged. So there is a marginal, practical use for taxis, but by-and-large mobile ride sharing is more effective.
