This is an anecdote, but I do not choose an Uber because it is less expensive. I choose Uber because it is easier than hailing a taxi. It provides more certainty. You dont need to fight other people on the street for a taxi. You dont need to wait 30minutes for a cab to arrive (or never arrive) despite the dispatcher saying "5 minutes." You dont need to begrudgingly hand a $20 note for a $6 ride to a cabbie who "doesn't have change." You can reimburse corporate trips because the cabbie is never out of receipts. There are so many reasons I use Uber rather than traditional taxis.
