Live in New York, think Uber is both more expensive and less convenient than just hailing a cab and I never use it. They seem to want to skim money from cabbies. I was also particularly appalled by their jacking up their prices during Hurricane Sandy. Their one killer feature - being able to see your car's arrival status on your phone, will be a commodity soon enough. Company won't exist in 5 years.
