I've been using Lyft for the last month and it has been a great product. Though it's not as flashy as Uber, it is also considerably cheaper, even cheaper then a taxi. I'd rather the friendly Lyft drivers over the unprofessional taxi drivers of SF. Lyft also has 1MM liability on each driver so nothing about them feels sketchy. [1] My only complaint is they don't have enough drivers and so I can't always get a lift.

Maybe I've just had back luck. I had one guy who was swearing up a storm, which is usually fine with me, but for some reason didn't give me confidence in him. Then there was the woman who drove like a maniac and complained about how much her life sucked. I agree SF's taxi drivers are usually terrible, but I've had good luck with Uber Taxi. I'm not sure how much extra vetting Uber does but it seems to work. Uber Taxi charges regular taxi fares + 20% gratuity + $1, which is well worth it to me if you can get one.
