My most surprising encounter was an actual taxi. I asked the driver how does that work and he said that Uber fills the gaps in moments when he isn't getting any calls, as hardly anyone takes a taxi to travel short distances in the middle of the day. Indeed, I called an Uber because I was in the middle of house hunting and a taxi would be considerably more expensive.
