Why do taxi organizations spend all their effort trying to make life difficult for Uber. It's not as if Uber has some sort of top-secret tech they refuse to share with the world. Perhaps some of their efforts should be spent on improving their own product. As someone that spent 5 years living in Manhattan, I feel qualified to comment on the state of taxi rides. I now take Uber almost exclusively. And several Uber drivers I've had the pleasure of riding with were previously taxi drivers. They've told me the experience is much better for them with Uber as well. Stop trying to kill Uber. Make taxis better for your drivers and passengers and the rest will follow.

I was in Manhattan the other day, and as a non'New Yorker, I spent 10 minutes trying and failing to catch a cab. Gave up and used uberx. Never going to even attempt to catch a cab again in the city :(

Any chance you're "the" Haruki Murakami?! Big, big fan here.

Ah. Sorry. Should have been able to figure that out. Thank you.

No worries, I get that a lot ;)
