i remember hailing one a few years ago and i found it to be fairly cheap

london black cabs are a total ripoff and the service is terrible. im glad theyre being undercut by uber and other riding apps

I'd rather just get an uber to play a flat fee rather than stress about the meter

Also a cleaner vehicle. Many taxis are disgusting inside.

I think Taxis you can haggle a bit for prices but Uber will be the cheaper service

Uber and yellow cabs are pretty close to the same price when I used them to get home from work.

yea i use uber often, this will sound very millennial but i like being able to organize the whole thing through the app. say im at a bar in nyc, i can organize an uber while im waiting at the bar to close my tab and track how far the guy is from where i am. i don't have to worry about tipping, having cash, using a card, whatever, it's a very seamless process

yeah i agree, i know what you mean. it's so easier knowing how long it'll take you to get home, getting a receipt and the overall convenience of doing it through an app

boomers must hate ppl like us
