- stcroixx 3y agoI’d go back to taxis in a heartbeat.
- bobthepanda 3y agoYeah, where I live the taxi is a flat rate $40 to downtown from the airport vs $100-150 on rideshare.
- 2muchcoffeeman 3y agoOccasionally Uber is cheaper than a taxi. But sometimes it’s also not. Occasionally Uber is more convenient depending where you are. But Uber isn’t some super amazing thing. It’s a taxi service with an app. Uber eats is barely worth it in Sydney. I don’t save any time using it. So unless I get a coupon I never use it.
- cvalka 3y agoThey mostly sucked. The waiting time sucked, the service sucked(there was no reputation for each individual driver), in a lot of places it was a cartel artificially limiting the number of drivers. The existence of Uber/Lyft is a great benefit to the consumer.
- stcroixx 3y agoNot for me. Close to zero wait time in their heyday in Chicago. Drivers were the same people. By law they could not refuse a ride and they actually respected the law unlike these companies whose business model depends on ignoring laws. Uber and Lyft just made them slower and more expensive.
