[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lastly, you had to talk to a real live person over the phone to get that Washington Flyer to your house and be honest, you really had no clue whether that taxi was coming to your house on time or not.[/quote]

Actually I didn't have to talk to anyone. Their automated system recognizes my phone number and I just tell it what time I want the pickup. About 9 round trips so far this year and they have never not showed, in fact annoyingly they are usually always at least 20 minutes early.

Not hating on Uber, just trying to understand why I should be using it versus what I've used for years when it seems to cost more. Looking at my ride history for that trip, I see that it was in fact an UberXL that I had to take because that's the only thing that would pick me up in western Prince William County at 5:50AM (Amr in his VW Jetta immediately canceled for whatever reason.) This was my 1st experience with Uber and I will say the driver was very friendly and even offered me coffee. [/quote]

Got it, learned something new today.  That's actually a nice system.  But trust me, that automated feature didn't exist five years ago and only exists now because uber forced taxis to step-up whatever game they had.  [/quote]
