My experience with Uber in Seattle hasn't been so hot, but I rarely use taxis or taxi-like services so maybe it's just the luck of the draw. One driver actively campaigned for me to start using Lyft and another decided that downtown to Ballard (as in just outside University Street tunnel station to 15th and Market) needed to go via the Fremont bridge.

It's easier for me to just take Metro and use car2Go to fill in the gaps.

I took an Uber already a couple of times in Seattle and noticed that the Uber GPS seems to take a longer route than necessary in some cases. A former taxi driver told me too that the Uber GPS is not very good.

I'm wondering if they developed their own routing algorithm which would explain why it isn't as good as other navigation systems.
