> This seems to be the central issue with Uber- it has solved a San Francisco problem, and is now trying to apply the same solution everywhere.
Dealing with taxi dispatchers in Seattle is awful. They're rude, they don't tell you when your cab is coming, sometimes they just don't pick up.
Some taxi drivers aren't much better. They can be extremely reticent to accept credit cards, and I have been refused service before because I wanted to pay with one.
The introduction of Uber (and especially UberX) in Seattle has made deciding whether or not to drive a total no-brainer.
