This may apply to the US, not necessarily to the rest of the world.
I‘m from Europe and I‘ve never felt the need to use UBER. Taxis and public transport over here are sufficiently good.
- chrisseaton 6y ago> This may apply to the US I'm not from the US. I'm from Europe. Taxis in every European city I've ever been to have been fundamentally consumer-hostile. They refuse to accept your card (illegally in some cases), their vehicles are filthy, and their customer service skills are offensive. It's like every ride I take with them is some kind of personal inconvenience for them.
- iso1631 6y agoI got in a taxi at Brussels airport once. Fortunately the previous week I'd had issues with a Washington DC cab driver refusing a credit card, and had the wherewithal to check he took them before we left. He didn't. The less said about the awful black cabs in London the better. Rarely take a taxi in London, but if I have a lot of bags I will, and it's not going to be a black cab. Don't have this issue with Uber, it gives me a rough price (which is pretty accurate IME). I can count on one finger the issues I've had (driver didn't turn up at Nairobi airport, claimed he'd been arrested, had to book another one) I've had issues in Beijing with taxis - thinking back I suspect the main issue is that Uber just didn't exist in Beijing.
