I live and work in and near downtown Brooklyn. I have had Uber try to route me over the bridges to get to Williamsburg or Greenpoint, repeatedly and inexplicably. So I'm not sure if that's a solved problem yet.
Thankfully with Uber (Lyft, etc?) you get a trip map afterward.
I had an Uber in SF make a wrong turn onto the bridge to Oakland so he stopped the "meter" and at least I didn't have to pay for it.
With a Taxi it'd be my word against theirs, and the police would take their side. I'd be out the extra fare until I could sue the taxi company and I'd have to hope they didn't delete the video which is my only proof. No thanks.
