Seoul is also very big and the subway shuts down at night. Wherever your subway car is when it shuts down, that's where you're getting off. As a foreigner, this bewildered me. Me and my buddies would find ourselves in some dark neighborhood full of high-rises and it would be a battle amongst the subway passengers for the few cabs that happened to be waiting at the exits. I would have loved Uber back then, especially the ability to type in our destination. I was there with the military and we lived on big bases but the cab drivers acted like they had no idea where we wanted to go and would drive around aimlessly until they'd ripped us off sufficiently before suddenly remembering and driving us home. Years later, a friend back home explained that most of these taxi drivers (who were men in their 50's) were the deadweight that got laid off from Chaebol corporations back during the Asian Financial Crisis. These guys resent their new occupations and have the shitty attitudes to show it.
