Yes, I told both drivers that my experiences with Uber far exceeded my expectations.
Uber is a win-win for drivers, as both drivers explained that it's an organised union which allows them to work from different areas, and are guaranteed to have customers after every drop-off, unlike regular taxis:)Hello @jlufer
They also offer great discounts. Ex. my journey last night was £4 +, but that was a discount from the original price of £10 +. It was a long journey through villages and then remote roads (with 0% chances of getting a bus)... and also a fraction of what I would have paid if I took a traditional black cab.
I think Uber is a safer bet for women travelling solo too:)))
For some years now, here in my country, Argentina, we have had the Uber service, and the truth is, as you say, it is more organized, cheaper, safer, and the service is excellent
Here the rates work by time slot, at some times it is about 80% cheaper than a traditional taxi
Yes, my taxi in the morning was over £20, which was for a 40-minute ride to the city. At that time of the morning, I could have had a taxi to take me to the closest train station, but there was not much price difference because of the time of the morning.
However, in the night, I took the train from the city to the closest train station and then ordered an Uber which had a discount going for #### £4+ for the same journey that would have been £20+ in the AM.
