&gt; &quot;The drivers are not (jerks|unsafe|scary|etc)&quot; - at this point half of the smart taxi drivers have gone to Uber, there&#x27;s not much of a difference in driver quality.<p>Totally not my experience. Somehow Uber&#x27;s rating system has coerced gonzo taxi drivers into sane drivers w&#x2F; good customer service. That&#x27;s the real disruption, IMHO.
