Yes, why &quot;taking&quot;? What Uber is doing is obviously working.<p>Pre-Uber days, getting a cab in NY was painful. You can&#x27;t call them to come pick you up. More often than not, the cabbie will complain about taking a credit card or just say the machine is broken. Rides TO the airport are a mixed bag of using the fixed fare vs the cabbie encouraging you to go off of it.<p>Are there are legitimate complaints about Uber that don&#x27;t come from the standpoint of defending the incumbent cab industry? I just don&#x27;t get the constant hate they receive.
