### Comment:
Depending on the city, and where you are in the world, this is actually very possibly a better choice than Uber. Not sure why you got all the downvotes but even when I am in NYC I tend to use cabs instead of Uber or Lyft. There are more than one cab companies to choose from and NYC's flat fare to JFK is often way cheaper than the last time I used Uber/Lyft to get there.

### REPLY:
I had NYC in mind when I said that too. unless it's rush hour you hail a cab and that's it. no phone, no app, no waiting for someone
