This completely neglects the enormous gains to consumers of having cabs that (1) will actually show up if booked ahead of time (2) don’t discriminate by race/ethnicity (3) don’t take the long way round (4) always take cards instead of the machine being “broken” (5) will pick up and drop you off anywhere.
Uber and their competitors are and were 100x better at getting drivers to follow the rules taxis were always meant to follow than their regulators ever were.
- tmnvix 5y agoI have had Uber drivers fail to show up multiple times. They appear to be heading to the pickup point but then park some distance away and just wait. It's very frustrating. I've never had that experience with a taxi service. It's nothing to do with my Uber rating. I've since learned that it has something to do with a scam involving short/undesirable trips and cancellation fees.
