NO. I live in NYC now and the taxi service is WAY better than the service in DC.
For one thing, if you make a complaint against a driver in NYC, there is going to be some action taken. Not so in DC.
That said, I used Uber almost exclusively in both locations.
- untog 14y agoI live in NYC too, and what you just said doesn't really relate to what I'm saying. A livery cab is luxurious when compared to a yellow cab, and commands a price accordingly.
- Nrsolis 14y agoI think YOU are missing MY point; namely, that a taxi in NYC is WAY better than a taxi in DC. For one thing, a taxi in NYC is more likely to be safe, recently inspected, and driven by someone who fears retaliation from authorities if he breaks the rules. In DC, you're guaranteed almost the exact opposite. In NYC, Uber is a nice-to-have. In DC, Uber is almost your only option.
- JPKab 14y agoDC taxis are a nightmare. The funny part is the contrast that you can have when you take an Uber car to a destination and then hail a taxi to get back. When I cracked the back window in the taxi cab since he wasn't using his air conditioning, he promptly rolled it back up and locked the window. He said nothing. The price for the ride was actually more in the taxi, because he very sneakily took a longer route "by accident" by missing an exit for the quick route and then taking the next exit on the longer route.
