You seem to have a specific vendetta against cab companies and drivers. Who hurt you?

- throwaway50702 3y agoCab companies and drivers, unsurprisingly. I love how Uber and Bolt changed the experience of using a taxi during the last decade. Anywhere in Europe I go, I can count on a good service - 10 years ago it was absolutely terrible. Broken down cars that the drivers probably used to sleep in taking you on a much longer route than necessary and overcharging you for that. One time a gangster like that took me to his gang when I used a phone with GPS to call him out on his route. No thanks, never again.
- robertlagrant 3y agoCab companies had to get far better after Uber appeared. Getting a taxi was a rubbish experience once.
- williamdclt 3y agoTo be fair, taxis being terrible almost everywhere across the world is a very common complain
- eloisant 3y agoIn France taxis are much better than Uber. I've had some really weird experiences with Uber while taxis where all very professional and top notch.
- martinald 3y agoThe problem is it's very variable and you don't know it if you are visiting somewhere. I had a great experience in Madrid, and terrible in Lisbon with normal taxis. Could be just luck of the draw, but with Uber at least if I'm in an unfamiliar place I have some accountability if it does go horribly wrong (taking a long journey for example), with English speaking support.
