* You can get a taxi just as fast in Berlin. * If you feel the need to use an app that has ratings, payment and stuff, there are apps such as mytaxi for that.

* You can get a taxi just as fast in Berlin.
* If you feel the need to use an app that has ratings, payment and stuff, there are apps such as mytaxi for that.
* Taxi drivers are professionals and you can complain about them which would eventually not end well for them.
* Payment is regulated so it's the same with every taxi and it's not that expensive, besides we have an actually working public transportation anyway, so it's not like you're going to use taxis daily.
- wyager 12y agoAre you really trying to convince us that we just imagined having better experiences with Uber? We've already made a fair determination of what service is superior; we've taken everything you're saying into account. Yes, I "feel the need" to have a taxi rating system. You can claim all you want that government taxis have equivalent systems, but they obviously don't. Taxi drivers are usually assholes, and Uber drivers are usually nice. Uber also costs the same every time, and it's usually cheaper than a government taxi.
- janfoeh 12y agoHave you ever taken a taxi ride in Germany? Because that's what this story is about, and I assume what DasIch is talking about. If no, then you have not made a fair determination of what service is superior.
- DasIch 12y agoI don't think people imagine having better experiences with Uber than with taxis in some parts of the world. That doesn't mean that Uber provides a better service than all taxis everywhere. San Francisco's dysfunctional taxi regulation doesn't extend past the cities borders, much less the US despite Uber's best efforts to make seem as if that were the case.
