Not even remotely close. The last time I had to call for a cab to come to my relatively nice neighborhood to get a ride somewhere I had to wait over an hour for them to show up.

With Uber it takes maybe 10 minutes max and the fare is 1/4 of the price of a traditional cab. Uber/Lyft have been a godsend compared to what was available before.
