It's a good question. Not too long into the rideshare explosion I tried a couple of apps that were more or less interfaces for yellow cab services. Definitely a weaker experience: longer wait time and not as much information (real or perceived) about what was actually happening in the dispatch-pickup process. And it cost more too. I could accept the higher cost as just part of fairly pricing out ride service, but the weaker experience was a hard pill to swallow.
