  And that’s a bit hypothetical, but who you choose to do business with is your choice. Lyft in my experience has been pretty happy to give me my money back whenever I’ve had a problem.

  Is there a place on Earth where there are Ubers but no local taxis?

    Tons. One of the main problems that Uber solved was taxis who would pick you up but then refuse to take you where you wanted to go because it wasn't in a high-volume tourist area. My friends and I played outside in the front lawn of a house in "Mid-City" district of New Orleans and called taxi cabs all day as an experiment. Every 30 minutes we'd call another taxi to come pick us up. Not one taxi arrived all day. All of them claimed they came, honked in the driveway, but no one came out. Again -- we were outside the whole day, with full view of the street and driveway. Also, a month earlier, the only taxi driver who once did drop me off there tried to illegally charge double until I called the police, who arrived after he left. Uber/Lyft we had no trouble with at all!
