well, i use uber often and i'll say it out loud: fuck taxis. I don't care. I used to use taxis and buses for anything else than commuting. I don't even need the later with the price of uberx.

uberx is cheaper, faster, more reliable. cars are nicer, drivers are very professional, all the time. uberx is always there for you, you don't need to wave at empty taxis that may or may not take you in, and wait 30min because you're not at the right place. uber is there in 5. always.

So yeah, fuck regular taxis. Sorry guys. You don't cut it anymore.

Don't forget to add shake you down for cash vs hit a button on your phone.
Honest question, and I don't mean this in an accusatory fashion: how often do you use the bus?
It may be an honest question, but how is it relevant? Clearly if you're Ubering, you either can't or don't want to use the bus for these trips.
