I don't even know what the price of a taxi is anymore. That is the least important difference! An Uber or a Lyft will actually show up - and quickly - when I call it; will actually take me where I want to go without wasting time running up the meter; and will actually charge me in a fair and predictable way, which does not involve dickering with the driver or unexpectedly having to find a bunch of cash because the card reader is "broken". All of these things can be reasonably summarized as forms of trustworthiness.
