I have used it in Seattle, for business and personal.
Honestly, the reasons I'm happy to pay a premium are the phone app and the reliability: I'm fed up of booking a cab that turns up 30+ minutes late.
If any of the three/four big taxi firms in Seattle put together an app like Uber's (basically with the 'pick me up from this spot ASAP and keep me up to date with how far away you are' feature) - they would be my go-to ride every time, and would be incredibly popular.
Have never taken a cab in SF; the crazy shortage of medallions in the city sounds almost criminal.
- aaronbrethorst 15y agoExcluding the weather right now, Yellow Cab is likely the worst thing about Seattle. TaxiMagic is supposed to work ok, although I've never tried it.
- samstave 15y agoWell, yes that is why I use Uber - I was banned from the Yellow and Royal because they would NEVER show up, and I would call multiple taxi co's because I couldnt rely on anyone to come. I live in an area that is really hard to get a taxi (Twin Peaks) and I used to live in the Presidio where it was simply impossible. I love the service Uber provides, I just think that the whole taxi system is over priced by about double.
