In the UK the black cabs and other taxi services have rolled out similar apps. Uber prices have gone up to the point that a cab is often enough the same price if not cheaper. Never mind that black cab drivers know optimal routes by heart while Uber drivers are often just following phone navigation and getting lost.
- akoster 5y agoIm glad to hear Uber/Lyft/Ride Sharing App pricing has matched that of cabs in London. In New York it was close (at least pre-COVID). I took would always opt for a yellow cab at those crazy prices (making sure that the meter was on, unless I negotiated a price). I'm not sure what cabbies in New York must pass but Definitely in places like London where cabbies must pass but hearing a little about "the knowledge" [1] for London cab licensing, and experiencing their true professionalism, I only wish that a similar test could be administered to anyone professionally driving any vehicle in the city must take.
