In the US, correct. In most of Western Europe a taxi is normally a very different experience from Uber X - a nice car, nice driver, great navigation and safe trip. Yes, you're paying extra, but the comfort is also very different, especially when going from airports.

Which Western Europeans countries have you tried?

[arsenico]

Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, UK (hah), France, some cities in Italy, some places in Spain.

I live in the UK. Can't say I agree with you. Especially because I have a mobility impairment. The Uber drivers are always more willing to help, (I'd imagine thanks to the rating system), stop exactly where needed etc.

In London - I'd say cabs are better. In Liverpool and Manchester, I'd say on par with Uber. Didn't have experience with Assist and Access Uber cars, so you have a better view on that.

Thanks. I'm surprised your description applies to all those places, but to be fair I don't really have direct experience riding taxis there.

[arsenico]

Why surprised?

[icebraining]

Because it doesn't match the reports I got from people living in Belgium, France and Spain.
