And like any other Craigslist transaction, you’ll wait around for 45 minutes wondering if the other party will even show up. No thanks.
Having used Uber and Lyft a handful of times now, this is definitely the way of the future. No more standing out on your stoop wondering when the taxi will show up. With the apps you know who’s coming, what their track record is, what they’re driving, and you see their location on the map in real time
I’d rather have something like Hailo or E-hail. App summons the taxi, driver pays a commission to the app designer for each hail, passengers pay good, old-fashioned, cold, hard cash.
