I would still take Uber instead of a taxi if the price were the same, except if there’s a waiting taxi at a stand.

However, a lot of my Uber use was replacing driving, not replacing a taxi. For example, I can park at SAN or ask someone for a ride, but when Uber cost $9 from OB it was the best option.

I also took Uber from SFO to SF many times for as little as $20. If Uber cost the taxi $65 amount, I might just take BART instead for $9.

I really do like the company a lot, and wish it wasn’t unsustainably unprofitable.
