Here&#x27;s my problem with cabs - the drivers. Many of the are downright nasty.<p>I&#x27;m deaf and I always dread taking the cab. I write down the location prior to getting in but I am not sure if the driver can read English. If not, then I try my best to explain where I want to go. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn&#x27;t.<p>I&#x27;ve been kicked out of cabs right after being picked up and the driver learned who I am. They just didn&#x27;t want to deal with me. It&#x27;s embarrassing and tough to swallow at times.<p>A few drivers are very nice and personable and gave me no problems and took me where I needed to go as well as not doing the &#x27;long tour&#x27;.<p>When Uber came out - it was a godsend! Everything is so easy and transparent. I do not have to sit in the cab and watch continuously and make sure I am going the right direction and get off at the right place. I can finally relax while riding.
