The quality of Uber drivers in San Francisco has dropped all the way to the point where I simply will not try to use Uber anywhere near downtown. They will accept the ride and the app will show they are &quot;1 minute&quot; away, however it will often take upwards of 15 minutes for them to reach me because they don&#x27;t know their way around the city and are confused by all the one-way streets in downtown. I promise I&quot;m not exaggerating, it really does take that long. I&#x27;ve stood there and watched them on the map spending 10-15 minutes driving very long distances <i>away</i> from me before finally turning in the right direction and painfully, slowly, starting to get closer. It&#x27;s ridiculous.<p>If I&#x27;m in downtown or SOMA, I will use a taxi (either hailing or using Flywheel). It&#x27;s usually a huge time saver (and there&#x27;s no &quot;surge&quot; pricing either).
