> Genuine question: Is Uber really cheaper than taxi? Honestly: in Italy it's not. It's hell expensive, probably a bit more expensive than usual cabs

There are different Uber products that come with varying prices. In Sydney, I can make a trip with UberX (regular ride sharing) that's $10, or with UberBlack (licensed hire car operators) which would be $30 to $40.

UberX is definitely about 20% cheaper than taxis here in Sydney.
