I live in a city with Uber & Lyft, and avoid taxis wherever possible for exactly the reasons you gave. Every time I take a taxi I regret it and swear it'll be the last time.
Another problem with cabs is that they are not incentivized to use the fastest route. Determining the fee at the start of the journey aligns both the driver's and passenger's interests.
