I would say that the average Uber driver is, as you said, better than the average taxi driver.<p>But I have a few counterpoints:<p>1) That&#x27;s a good argument to adding a rating system to taxis, not trashing the industry entirely.<p>2) I bet if taxis were much cheaper than an Uber a lot of people would go for the cheaper ride over the better one.  Sort of like how UberBlack is so much less popular than UberX.
