Every time I ride a cab I think never again. For some reason I decide to give them a chance again and regret it. My last experience consisted of a driver who seemed jacked on coke or speed or maybe just nuts driving very badly and then (as usual for cabs) pretending the card system didn't work to pressure me into going out of my way to get cash. Prior to that there was a cab that smelled bad with a broken door that caused the door ajar indicator to beep for the entire trip. This driver also pretended the card system didn't work. City is Los Angeles but I have had similarly bad experiences in SF and Dallas in recent years. In Dallas I had one whose driver smelled like sasquatch and was obviously taking me the long way. In SF my driver helpfully introduced me to QAnon. I've had marginal Ubers and Lyfts but none have been as bad as the average licensed taxi.
