Which was cheaper? In my experience, in addition to being much worse in many ways (love to be called and told my cab driver is ready to pick me up when I am already boarded and sitting in a plane, after the dispatcher repeatedly told me they were 10 minutes away for an hour, and then I managed to just street hail a cab at 5 am) cabs were also about 50% more expensive.
However, my local cab company got an app, it’s a piece of shit, but it shows where the cab is in a map as it comes to you, which really was the killer feature for Uber/Lyft for me. So good riddance Uber, you served a purpose for a time, but normal cabs stepped up their game just a little bit, and I have basically negative loyalty to you.
- marcinzm 4y agoIn NYC the call taxi companies were cheaper than uber/lyft even in the prime discount days of those apps. Of course the user experience was much worse.
- vkou 4y agoIn NYC my user experience with Lyft has been much worse than taxis. Cost more, longer waits, cherry on top of a Lyft driver waiting five minutes on the other side of a long block away from pickup, and canceling the ride because I allegedly refused to show up. That I had to talk to CS to reverse the charge with. I took taxis for the rest of my time in NYC, and I can't see any reason not to keep doing so.
