In many areas, the experience is just better with Uber or Lyft. Most taxi or black car services in most cities in America are only accessible by calling and booking and in many cases you need hours if not 24 hours or more lead time. Not to mention the huge number of smaller cities that have no other car services.
- silisili 5y agoAs someone past their partying days, the only time I typically use them is at the airports. And at the airports, I'm always blown away. Taxis as far as the eye can see, ready and willing. Yet most people are fumbling with their phone, walking around lost trying to find the Uber lot. As a data comparison, it cost me 10 seconds of my time and $33 to get a taxi ride home. It cost me 7 to 10 minutes of my time and $31 for an Uber. Doesn't make sense to me.
- reducesuffering 5y agoAnecdotes differ. That’s why data is best for comparing these things. For example I would always take Uber or Lyft some weekends from the airport to the office and it would be around $15. One time my phone was dead, I hailed a taxi and they charged me $50. Haven’t taken them much since that’s been my typical experience.
