"walk out to the taxi rank"
I assume you are talking about airports. Guess what, they still exist in many places. And on the other hand, for US, other than a few big cities, the "normal" taxi experience is that you call a number and maybe a taxi shows up in half an hour. With Uber, that becomes 10 minutes or less, with live map updates. Give me that and I'll be happy to forget about Uber.
- chillfox 2y agoNo, I mean when out for dinner or drinks. There used to be several taxi ranks on the streets with restaurants/bars/nightclubs, now there are none. The airport is the only place left that still has a taxi rank, and it doesn't even have taxies all the time anymore.
- rty32 2y agoIf drivers are actually driving people around and earning money, potentially getting more income in the end, with a trade-off of inconvenience for riders to wait a few minutes for the next ride to arrive, do you consider that positive or negative? Sounds like a much more efficient model to me.
