I used taxis in Chicago maybe three times.

But while rideshares can be better for me than listening to some taxi driver go off on some misogynist rant, that doesn't mean that they're better once you start taking into account wage problems, increase in CO2 production, etc.

But seriously, taxis in Chicago can get fucked. They were so terrible.

I don’t buy wage problems because my estimate on Chicago taxis was most medallions were held by investors who were not drivers and most drivers were undocumented with less protection than Uber provides.

I buy the CO2 aspect. Many cases where Uber is now more convenient than public transport vs. El is better than a taxi
