You use Uber or Lyft or you don't get a ride. No one is using a taxi app; they're using the two big rideshare apps. That said, I used a taxi a total of a handful of times in my 30-something years prior to Uber/Lyft becoming a thing. Those handful of times were miserable experiences, including hours-long waits leading to no-shows. Modern ridesharing services flipped the script. Livery services here in Minneapolis/St Paul are all over the rideshare apps and I am more often than note picked up by licensed taxi/limo service drivers instead of random Joes looking for extra dough (I'm sorry; I didn't realize it until after I typed it--it's staying). --- I have come to rely on the expectation that rideshare will be available in whatever city I am in. On a recent vacation, there was exactly 1 rideshare vehicle available to pick up my family to go to the airport on a Friday morning at 6:30 AM and one available to get home at 12:30 AM on a Sunday night. These drivers were professional drivers. There were exactly 0 rideshares available on Hilton Head Island on the several occasions I looked and there were only a handful available in Savannah. Ridesharing may be dead but this article is nothing but a very angry response to someone who hates the business model that actually fixed a VERY broken system. Whether or not those companies continue to exist, rideshare services have made it WAY more accessible to move around w/o having to rent cars, get stranded, etc. Bring 'em on I say.
