Real taxis run 24/7/365 and the price never changes. Calls are taken chronologically. Theoretically you could wait forever for an Uber and then pay 100x the taxi fare. But whatever

Ubers run 365 and it’s better that they change the price… that way, you can always get one when there’s high demand. Also, you know you won’t be scammed for the price like taxi drivers do

Ah, it’s ‘all taxi drivers are thieves’ trope you’re all pussyfooting around. Used car salesmen too amirite.

It’s true, they do all sorts of shady shit and are racist. Ubers pick you up no matter the neighborhood or race
