How did people do before Uber? When I was there about 6-7 years ago (before Uber), none of my well-off friends would use cabs to go around London. We would take the tube + walking. Maybe a cab at night after going out but that would be it.
- vidarh 7y agoIt is not that bad - there are plenty of minicab companies, and they are all much cheaper than black cabs and many are often cheaper than Uber. The problem is convenience - Uber has a better app, and typically shorter wait times and few competitors in London cover the entire town. I see Uber as an expensive convenience - my 'local' minicab company is usually cheaper but odds are I will wait 10 minutes instead of 3-4 for a car, and if I'm in another part of town I have to resort to Uber or finding another minicab company anyway.
