This is really just about the dynamics of mobile hailing and logistics.
Of course it's cheaper than actually calling a Taxi dispatcher, verbally providing a pickup location, and paying cash.
But how much cheaper?
Uber, Lyft, Grab and others are in the business of figuring out those margins... and riders will pay rate increases as supply and demand equalizes.

- cududa 8y agoNot really. Before Uber I’d say ~50% of the drivers I ordered never showed up. Missed tons of flights this way
- mpweiher 8y ago> cheaper than actually calling a Taxi dispatcher But we have apps for hailing Taxis...? These do all the automated hailing, tracking the taxi for pickup (got my anxiety levels down quite a bit, I've had taxis not come for important trips), as well as payment and ratings (optional).
- robertAngst 8y ago> payment and ratings Underrated, never felt cheated out of a lyft or uber. I've even tipped.
- fwip 8y agoYou should be tipping nearly every single time you take Uber/Lyft/taxi.
