Check the prices on ubercab versus regulated taxis.

2 mile: $7.15 v $17.80 5 mile: $13.90 v $32.50 10 mile: $25.15 v $57.00

idling: $0.45 v $1.25

The expensive ones are the less regulated cars of ubercab.

And for what it's worth, in New York, the only time I've had bad experiences with Taxis were times I waved down a livery, or got another unlicensed taxi.
