Uber was terrible when I was in New York City. Every time I was ready to request a car I would get 3.2 X times normal fare rate or 4.5 X times normal fare rate. They always jacked up the price to at least 2 times the normal rate. Just a total rip off. Cab was way cheaper and easier to flag down.

I was picked up on Tchoup Saturday night by a cab. Of course he would only take cash which luckily I had. Can't see why anyone would be against Uber in the city.

Might be the only city where cabs are a great option.

I can't wait for NOLA to get the regular Uber service. I know they need to figure out who to pay off and all of that good stuff, but it's going to happen.

Taxis in NYC are almost certainly going to be cheaper than an uber. Uber can be convenient tho when you are having trouble finding a cab but you are going to pay for it.
