What a load of shit! I have lived in LA for 15 years. Taken my share of taxis but a lot more Uber. Uber has been 98% of the time fairly priced, clean and safe. No Uber ride has ever taken twice as long as the taxi ride. If anything I had to watch the taxi driver like a hawk to make sure he didn't take the wrong exit or shoot off into a canyon to run up the bill. Good luck actually finding a taxi by the way, in LA. I hope Uber and its ilk drive taxis out of business.
