[quote=Anonymous]Safer? No. Taxis cab commissions basically documented everything about a driver's life especially if they were given a vaunted 'liscense'. So by nature they knew exactly who was driving and you had some assurance of working through a 'company'.

However tax drivers are shit on earth and I'll never ever use one now that Uber/Lyft/Via are here.

Taxi drivers:
- Keep filthy cabs
- Try to up charge you 
- Pick the longest routes to upcharge you
- Charge more per a mile than Uber does for an entire trip
- Charge extra for trunk usage
- Charge full fares per a person instead of per car
- Took FOREVER to find you and that's after you called a dispatcher - wait time 30-40 minutes for a taxi
- Are rude, disrespectful, and uncouth
- Would refuse credit cards so they could pocket cash (illegal!)
- Demanded tips on exorbitant fares
- Wouldn't pick up riders going to neighborhoods or in directions they didn't want

You name it, a taxi driver did it. Assholes. The fact that I can order an Uber by app and have it at my door in two minutes, zip across town, know my fare ahead of time, and follow the route on my phone. I can't tell you how much I love it. I take 5-6 ubers a week just because of the convenience and price.[/quote]
