If taxis weren't so dysfunctional, Uber wouldn't have so many happy users and drivers.
For example, it used to be a major hassle trying to get a car to pick me up in Park Slope, Brooklyn. I would call the local car service, who would always say "5 minutes". Except it often wasn't 5 minutes and sometimes they didn't come at all.
Other car services were OK but took a long time to show up. Now with Uber I can hail an NYC green taxi.
Sorry to sound like an Uber ad but it's been working really well for me.

- nickonline 12y agoNo, you're not. You're defending them fighting back. > If I paid (heavily) into a system of regulation that worked, only to have someone hack it and basically blow up my asset/income stream, you'd better believe I would push back hard. Aereo, anyone?
