If Taxi's just copied Uber's UX I would use them all the time. If I can get quoted on my journey ahead of time, and the money is taken out of my account with no money exchanging hands between me and the driver then I would be fine with them. In the UK you can get quotes for journeys but it doesn't mean anything because they just put you on a meter, no-one knows how the meters work. You get in the back and they press some buttons, the numbers change, the price for the same journey is vastly different every time, their card machine is never working despite it being the law to accept cards now so they take you to an ATM, they keep the meter running while you wait behind someone to get cash out, and so on. I have no sympathy for taxi company's anymore. As others have mentioned, if they modernised I would support them.
