Agreed. But also, taxis in the US have always provided a vastly inferior experience to taxis in other countries. I live in the UK and have zero complaints about cabs here. I've never had a good experience in the USA.
- eertami 11y agoI think the UK is heavily dependent on where you're ordering the taxi. Some cities are truly awful. Nottingham is the worst I've personally seen for taxis, but always had good service in Leeds.

The ordering experience is a bit annoying, but they're pleasant drivers, decent cars, etc. If you're hailing on the street (outside a pub, for example), it's fine. I seriously dislike taxis in the US primarily because of the tipping pressure. Seems to make the drivers miserable somehow. In Asia, I have walked huge distances just to avoid having to haggle with a driver or have them reject a fare they don't like. The experience there is pretty poor as a tourist where there is a large incentive for them to hold out for someone naive.
