The fact that you can get it by the app instead of a call alone is a service the cabs are not offering. Time is moving on, cab companies clearly need to explain why they should get my business instead of acting out the scene in "Goodfellas" where Tuddy has Henry burn the competitor out. The President is a fink. |

No need to, I will just use Uber if I cannot get a lift to the airport. The President is a fink. |

In a few years there will be an app that will price hunt between Uber, the local cab companies and any other services to give you the best price, and book the cab and take you to the airport. Because Uber isn't always the cheapest (and I suspect someone will eat their lunch soon). It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

You can call a cab from your cell phone, it takes just as long and you get exactly the same results: A cab shows up. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Uber offers cab service to the airport for a dollar less, and I have plenty of time, I probably will take Uber. Might all go the way of airport service. Cost leads to cutting back, and next thing you know your "cab" is a Smart Car trying to cram 6 people in it. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

But with Uber I know my flat rate. With a cab the meter clicks at every traffic light. The President is a fink. |

At the time of booking... course it might be insanely expensive that day. Here, most of the cab companies lfat rate the airport run. It's of course different in different cities. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

Unless caught in horrible traffic, the meter cost for not moving is very minimal, usually it's nothing. Uber has lower prices because it's screwing it's drivers, it's not offering a living wage. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
