I 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.
