Interestingly where I live Ubers are usually 50% more expensive than taxis.

I happily pay a premium for Uber/Lyft; that’s how awful taxis are. I can’t go back.

Oh yeh me too, even when you use a similar app with taxis the service is awful. At least half the time they call you and cancel as they've just picked someone up on the way to you.

If im somewhere with taxis readily available (like the airport) i just ask the taxi driver if they will match uber's price. Saves me 5 minutes, pays the individual more $

I do the reverse when I’m in NYC. I find TLC cabs to be more reliable.

Everyone’s experiences are different!

Here in Dublin Uber is more expensive but taxis are really great so it is ok.
