Uber has not been cheaper than a taxi for years now. Definitely not since the pandemic started. People take Uber now because it's about the same cost as a taxi

Uber has not been cheaper than a taxi for years now. Definitely not since the pandemic started.
People take Uber now because it's about the same cost as a taxi, but the credit card machine is never broken, and they can be summoned on demand.
- warble 4y agoAgreed, I use Uber because it's easier, not because it's less expensive.
- kylecordes 4y agoEven when I suspect it will be more expensive, I take it because I know it won't turn out that the credit card machine is inexplicably "broken" again. Want to really hurt Uber? Tighten taxi regulations so that a taxi may not legally operate without the ability to accept its full published list of acceptable payment options. The operator can take it out of service until repairs are complete, or police impound it.
