Off the top of my head: - Lying about the debit/credit machine being broken in order to receive cash. - Being unwilling to drive to/from certain neighborhoods. - Not turning the meter on in order to take advantage of people not from the city/country. - My (possibly incorrect) perception is that they are harder to hold to account. I do not always know the number of the taxi that picked me up and dropped me off. - Calling a taxi dispatch does not guarantee one will arrive. If service is slow you end up in a strange limbo of "Is that taxi late or have I been abandoned at 2:30am?" There's probably more but those are the ones that spring to mind based on my personal experiences with taxis. Even if Uber was only offered as a premium service I would still order one over a taxi.
