I’d rather an illegal cab company doing things right because the ‘official’ unchecked cab company is corrupt doing illegal things and people finally got fed up with it. that shouldn’t have been a thing that needed to happen to get a safe(and reliable and relevant i mean you could enter your credit card for fuck sakes that should have been updated in cabs by then) and affordable enough ride anywhere. That is a sign of a broken system when the word ‘legal’ in application lost all relativity to who it was supposed to protect in that situation. Heck, I’d drop it from all use in this case.
You couldn’t pay me to take a taxi again, Uber can get as expensive as they want (Eventually it’ll start to be cheaper to just rent a car for the day lmao)
Here where I am from, we use an app called FreeNow. Works like a charm. I use taxi almost every day. For me, each € matters. Believe me, Uber is outrageous here.
Ah well the Taxi scene is a little different in the EU (At least the few countries I’ve been too), it’s been a pleasant experience, nice modern streamlined process, although I’ve never had a chance to use a EU taxi outside the big city, so it might be a similar experience in those cases as the US
I’ll still take an Uber because I’m an average drunk and I don’t want to be behind the wheel (you don’t want me there either). I’ll walk 10 miles before I take a taxi though.

You forgot extensive algorithmic protection for art thieves.
Uber (and other similar apps) are expensive than traditional taxi where I live.

US Taxi industry is shit lmao
Same everywhere as far as I can tell. Uber is a breath of fresh air. Great example of a free market thing obliterating a guild thing.

So its just violations of capitalism. Perhaps the problem isn’t the tech.
