As long as you can (1) tap a button on your phone and have a taxi show up in front of you in minutes and (2) pay by credit card and not have the driver rip you off by taking a longer route, it will continue to be infinitely better than the pre-Uber status quo.
- lxgr 2y ago> not have the driver rip you off by taking a longer route I've had that happen with Uber more than once. The app now just seems to automatically "recalculate the fare" due to an "unexpectedly longer route or travel time", i.e. it's actively enabling this type of scam!
