Where I live there is a minimum fare of $75 imposed on Uber cars leaving from the airport. I took an Uber there and had a great, simple experience ($34 fare) but had to take a taxi back  when returning from my trip.<p>The cab was falling apart. One of the doors didn&#x27;t open from the inside. The axles made horrible, periodic thunking sounds (I&#x27;d guess the CV joints but am no car expert). The engine light, the wheel stability light, and the SRS warning light lit up the dash. The cab driver drove 10-15mph over the speed limit and nearly side-swiped several other cars. I asked to pay with a card and was met with a grunt of disgust, even as I added a standard 10% tip.<p>I understand there are some regulation issues related to Uber in many cities, but given the experiences I&#x27;ve had, I can&#x27;t wait to be rid of taxis.<p>I should add that in London I had the opposite experience, where the standard cabs (and official app) were fantastic, but Uber was price gouging during a tube strike.
