Out of interest, which bit of the flow they described is different in NYC?

It was similar to that in London 10 years ago - the most 'fun' thing used to be booking a cab for an airport drop - would they turn up at 3am as planned? If not, what will you do - as their office may now be closed... I ended up nearly stuck at the airport one night after my booked cab (pre paid!) didn't turn up, so had to get a black cab at twice the cost, and only after I convinced him I had the cash at home, as I didn't have any on my and my card had been cancelled while I was on holiday (for using the card abroad). Fun

I'm not from new york, but I think you just hail the cab down in the street, no? The described flow is what I'd have to do in atlanta to go basically anywhere.

Yeah, anyway outside of the centre of London and even there outside of peak hours, and waiting in the street for a cab can be a long wait.
