Oh hi James! I agree, but to be fair they do at least use Priuses for UberX. In a gridlock, they'll probably be fairly harmless ;) I actually have used UberX

Oh hi James! I agree, but to be fair they do at least use Priuses for UberX. In a gridlock, they'll probably be fairly harmless ;) I actually have used UberX before in London, at a fairly quiet time but when I was in a rush and it was great. I'd recommend it for that kind of situation, especially if you're not in a taxi hunting ground.
