What sold me on Uber/Lyft (back when Lyft was still in Houston) was the fact they'd reliably show up when called. Sure, I live in a sketchy neighborhood that's gentrifying, sure I may need a ride at an ungodly hour to the airport (4-6am) but if you agree to come and then don't show... I hacked taxi rides by having my wife drive me to the closest hotel and then making the driver take me home for my wife and our luggage. But yeah the second I could switch I did. They brought it on themselves.

Yeah, I'm in the same neighborhood situation and it's pretty much a random dice roll whether they'll actually come or not. Meanwhile, an alternative that consistently arrives? What great bare minimum standards-meeting! I can't believe "arrives when called" is apparently a problem. Especially for things like flights, there's really nothing like them saying they'll come and then not showing up, which makes meeting flight times extremely fun.
