Answer: it depends. When I lived in Malmö they had Taxa97 which was basically the same as Uber/Lyft. You can schedule rides, rate drivers, map view, and see the price of the ride before you take it. same with the taxi apps in Denmark. Other places have not as nice taxi apps. But in general taxis having to compete has generally brought them in line with U/L, at least in most of Europe. The only major difference with the taxi apps is that the drivers are first party instead of third party so the companies have a perverse incentive to trust their drivers more than the riders. Of course, the more competition you have the less of this behavior you see.
