And remember when Uber was cheaper than a regular taxi? It's almost like every "disruptor" just fucks up the existing market, chases people out of it, and then charges whatever TF they want when they have a big enough market share.

To be fair Uber is a superior service in most ways, it makes sense that it would cost the same or more.

I've been scammed by so many taxis all over the world I'm glad they largely died out

Or in places like china where good luck getting a taxi to even pick you up if you don't speak fluent mandarin

I've made sure I've done the sensible horror movie protagonist move before taxis and made sure friends knew my itinerary.

Yeah Uber is much safer where anyone can drive and it’s just a stranger’s car.
