Uber is way cheaper and better than any cab ever was.

From my experience, this is not the case in many european cities. In those places the main benefit seems to be not having to interact with the cab driver.

  • You don't talk to your drivers? I've had a lot of genuinely good conversations in my rides. I always at least feel it out and see how much the driver wants to talk but it feels wrong to not say anything

    • I'm talking about the benefit to whoever is using them. Once you learn it's more expensive, there's little logic to keep on using it unless for the reason stated.
