You... wouldn't use a taxi, but you'd use Uber?
Why?
Cars aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Any kind of subscription business won't work in the 'burbs and beyond, which is the majority of the country.
SF reality distortion field in full effect. Yo.
- bcoates 12y agoI'm not in SF, but the whole taxi experience is shitty in LA: 1. Long waits (~10m minimum usually) 2. Unreliable (they'll take calls and never manage to show up) 3. Bad attitude/customer service 4. Constantly trying to rip you off by taking weird routes or trying to use the meter on flat-rate airport trips 5. High prices for shitty cars compared to Uber's range of services I'd ride taxis, but only when I had to. The bus system was a more pleasant and reliable way of getting from one place to another. Uber has really changed that. For the 30% of the population that lives in cities it's a realistic alternative to dealing with a car, particularly if you're not a kid chauffeur.
