Since we're all pitching in anecdotes, I also live in Manhattan have very few problems with either. I can get a taxi almost any time I need one. The times I can't, it's late on Friday or Saturday night and I just use Uber or Lyft. I also use Uber to JFK simply because I get tired of hearing taxi drivers complain about going to JFK, demanding huge tips, or bitching about paying with cards. Taxi drivers usually give me no trouble, but to JFK, there is some issue at least 65% of the time. Never a complaint and always a smile with Uber or Lyft.
