I just tried the Uber taxi service 4 times the past week. I was extremely impressed by the entire experience. The rides were 25 to 40% cheaper than taxis. The ability to track the entire ride on your smartphone is amazing. This makes the ride safe too.
It was more convenient than a traditional taxi because there were several Uber drivers within 5 minutes of my location. 2 of the 4 Uber drivers called me to say that they had trouble with traffic and finding the exact location. When you book a taxi, you don't know exactly when they will come. Here you can track all their movements on your phone. Simply amazing.
All 4 drivers were first or second generation immigrants, with English as their second language. Foreigners have taken over all of these types of service jobs. I think it is a win-win situation. Uber keeps costs down for travelers like us, and gives the drivers an opportunity to make an honest living.
