I lived in New York for one year, many times I stand on a street corner and raise my hand , wait long time but no taxi pick me up. And one day, my friend recommend me Uber apps to call a Uber driver. I can't live without Uber now.
In my opinion, Uber thrown out the traditional methods of ordering a taxi and provide a conveient process that save my time and money. I don't even need cash or card, because I can pay for it by my phone.
I've waited around 20-30 mins for a cab that never show up, but Uber thrives on those problems. When I order an Uber, not only it will show up, but I can see how far away the car is, and how to contact with the driver directly. If the driver can't come to my way, they will call me directly and say sorry to me. I feel peace of mind and comfortable.
I've met cab driver who was rude, not nice person. But Uber drivers are alway nice, and smileing to me. And we can write a review to the Uber driver, and other people can share and see the reviews when they call this Uber driver.
Moreover, the traditional taxi has a government-run pricing plan that must be followed. Then it is up to the rider to figure out the tip. But Uber takes car of all that is still less expensive, it is cheaper than the regular taxi when I paid, and that includes tips.
And I heard that Uber is dabbling with ecommerce with a test offering called Corner Store in Washington, that lets customer order toothpaste allergy medicine and more than 100 other items via its app, then get them delivered by Uber drivers. I would like to use this service as soon as possible in new york.
