How are customers getting shafted? Uber is still cheaper to the airport than a taxi (for me). I don’t use it for anything else, so genuinely curious.

- ghaff 3y agoI assume in this context it means not getting rides for way under what traditional cabs cost. But those prices are just pretty much what a ride costs. If you decided to structure your life around cheap on-demand rides, then you may have to make changes. For all their faults, Uber/Lyft/etc. did make hailing a ride using your phone a much better experience than cabs in many cities. Not for everything; I still use a car service for airport rides.

I do happen to know taxi prices from a few airports to central areas and Uber used to always be cheaper. Significantly cheaper years ago. Today it's a crap shoot and the taxi's are often faster since you don't have to wait. If the taxi is no more than 5$ more expensive then I take the taxi. I'd say it's about 50-50. Sometimes the Uber is a good deal ($10 or so) cheaper.
