Because the experience is 100x better for the same price.
- JohnTHaller 12y agoIt's the same experience, for the most part. The livery car services near me now also offer Uber. It's more expensive for the same trip, same driver, and same car with Uber, of course. They like it. For the rest of us with their number saved in our phone, we just keep using it for the same price as before.
- billmalarky 12y agoHailing a cab is not similar to using uber. Cabs you never know what to expect. The driver is rude, they tell you the credit card machine is broken, the car is in horrible condition. With uber you consistently get a pleasant experience.
- JohnTHaller 12y agoYou didn't even read my post. I said calling a livery car. Aka a car service. Aka the exact same guys that come when you use Uber. Car services have existed for longer than the internet has. Car services are different from cabs. It is illegal to hail a car service in NYC, you can only hail yellow cabs. Quite literally the EXACT driver in the EXACT car will come if you use Uber in my neighborhood because my local car service works with Uber. It costs more on Uber than if you call them directly, of course.
- billmalarky 12y agoI get you. My response was to the original comment though, which was asking why use uber when there are cabs everywhere.
