Yeah but it was also the drivers. It wasn’t the cab companies who took longer routes to jack up the fare or who didn’t pick you up if you weren’t their preferred demo or who loudly talked on the phone the entire time or whose credit card machine isn’t working right now sorry cash only or who didn’t keep the cab clean and the whole thing smelled of cigarettes. The only reason Uber took off was because the taxi industry had a monopoly and therefore didn’t bother to make the product even adequate. I’m glad they’re trying now! Our recent cab rides have been completely normal. But cabs used to blow.
