Just got off the train and there are taxi drivers waiting at the station saying "same price as Uber and Lyft, but we're already here." Not a bad marketing play since Lyft is consistently taking 2-3x as long to show up as "estimated" on the app. 1/2
I used to say one of the biggest benefits of rideshare is knowing you'll have a clean car (unlike most taxis). That used to be the case. But taxis are getting cleaner and rideshare is getting dirtier. This taxi is far better than most Lyft I've done recently. 2/2
That said, I took 2 taxis in NYC where they let me out blocks from the destination. One time I didn't know and the other they said "it's just over a block that way" (I had luggage). That never happens with rideshare, where the app enforces GPS dropoff. 3/3
