If you look online you will see many websites that extol the benefits of taking an Uber-style ride rather than a taxi. There are many people, however, who are not convinced. While Uber has its benefits, you may still prefer to travel the traditional way and here is why.
One of the most common reasons why people choose Uber and similar services is because they believe they are cheaper. Do not be taken in by this. The cost of Uber may be cheap at face value, but the fact is that it depends on where in the world you are hailing your Uber from. Taxis are regulated when it comes to pricing – there is a standard scale that they must stick to and if they don’t you can complain and even get a refund. Uber, on the other hand, isn’t regulated which means that the cost of your ride can change at any time.
Another reason to choose a taxi is that it will arrive faster than an Uber especially if you are looking to hail one off the street. Taxis are clearly marked and if you need one all you need to do is flag it down. This can be convenient for those who don’t want to wait around for transportation or who haven’t yet the technology required to hail an Uber.
Taxis have been trusted since time immemorial to get people safely to their destinations. This doesn’t mean that bad things happen from time to time – they do, but when you compare them to the number of incidents that we have had with Uber since it was launched you will see that taxi drivers tend to be more reliable.
