[quote=Anonymous]I’ve never used Uber because:

1.  I trust taxis more than I trust Uber.

2.  While I don’t particularly mind using apps, I hate the app user agreements, which means I tend to avoid apps whenever I can.  User agreements mean I have to spend hours reading something I never fully understand, but take as a given that I’m agreeing to them taking advantage of me any and all ways they can possibly think of - starting with using my phone resources to spy on me and sell that information to as many parties as they can.

Taking a taxi is a simple transaction in comparison.  They take me where I want to go and I pay them.  I don’t have to agree to giving up legal rights and privileges to do so.  I may have to wait longer for a cab, but probably not as long as it would take me to read through the agreement, and then I have the reassurance that whoever comes is associated with the cab company. If I needed cabs regularly, I’d probably bite the bullet and sign up for Uber, but for once every few years, I’d much rather just call cabs.
