Before Uber, I used to call taxi dispatchers in Oakland to get a ride to the airport from my house. The taxis would rarely show up. One day I was getting a ride home in a taxi and I asked why this was the case. The driver explained that most drivers would not accept calls to certain "more dangerous" neighborhoods. I guess I won't be getting Ubers now for the same reason.
