Not knowing where you live &#x2F; have lived... I think people in big cities forget how hard it is to find a taxi elsewhere.<p>I can remember a specific example several years ago in Nashville (which is quickly becoming a big city) where after waiting for 15+ minutes downtown I had to start calling companies telling them to send a car to my corner.<p>Before Uber came to Chattanooga (a decent-sized city) calling a taxi wasn&#x27;t even a viable option unless it was for a scheduled 4AM airport pickup.
