Uber is 15% cheaper than cabs in the market's their in. So you get your phone charged, a bottle of water, a nicer car, a lower price, no cards/cash or tips and you only wait a couple of minutes. Regardless of your location.
It also stops discrimination of location or profile (They can't say they don't go to X place or not pick you up).
- pkteison 13y agoUber drivers still discriminate on location. When I wanted an SUV near Golden Gate Park, the first driver assigned to me cancelled the trip, and the second phoned me to verbally confirm before coming that far.
- mh- 13y agoI live a block from GGP and have never had this happen. (I've taken Uber a couple hundred times.) I'm not doubting your anecdote, just adding my own. I have definitely had a handful of disappointing Uber experiences; however, 90%+ have been fantastic.
- ajju 13y agoWhat is your source for the 15% number? In SF, UberX costs the same as taxis per mile, has no tip but a higher minimum, and surges regularly to 1.75x or more every time there is high demand, such as on weekends
- dev_jim 13y ago> Uber is 15% cheaper than cabs in the market's their in. This is just false in NYC. Yellow cabs are 1/3-1/2 the price.
- eli 13y agoUber is considerably more expensive than a cab in DC and there are a variety of apps that let you request and track cabs. The Uber cars and drivers are pretty nice though. Sometimes I'm willing to pay a premium for that.
