The world has changed a lot in 42 years. But the cabs business didn't. Haven't tried Uber in Manchester yet, but regular cabs are between "I just want to get out" and "bearable". Driver is usually on the phone talking foreign language, or if you are less lucky, always running on red lights, especially when the demand is high. I don't want a royal treatment, no, but at least some basic things. What I heard from friends about Uber, it doesn't have those problems.
