>Uber is definitely not perfect as a business but the taxi companies are horrible all over the place. If taxi companies would just enter the 21st century, I would maybe never use Uber but the thing is, they don't.
I never really understood this sentiment. This may be different in other countries, but in Western European cities, taxis are usually dependable and affordable. Just walk to the next taxi stand or hail the first one coming by.
- tluyben2 8y agoI don't know... I have been cursed and spat at by multiple taxi driver in Portugal and Spain (always because they thought the ride was too short and they need to get back to the end of the queue so really shitty for them hence my 21st century sentiment). And you cannot really complain; you can fill in a form which no-one ever does anything with. With Uber all of that is just better. And dependable... I missed my plane a month ago because the cab driver stood around the wrong corner for 10 minutes, did not contact me and went away again. The company called me hours later when their office opened (this was a 6 am flight) and berated me for not turning up. It's rubbish.
