I 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.
