Taxis in Prague were absolutely unusable. Regular stealing, overcharging, drivers not arriving on time (or ever), cars smelling like (sometimes literally) shit, drivers taking you all around the city, drivers taking you into their gang's base, etc. Uber solved all of that - I love that company.

Yeah, another Prague resident here. Regular taxi service in Prague reeked of the mob. Absolutely unpleasant, dishonest, menacing people.

Uber contractors are much more wholesome people, I had zero bad experiences and my wife trusts them enough to sit into their car alone. That would not be the case with old Prague taxi service.
