I started to get sick on one of my last Uber rides because the driver had on an absurd amount of cologne. Another had no clue what he was doing and explicitly took the street he was told not to take, getting stuck in the traffic I was hoping to avoid. Some of them are really reckless about driving too, sometimes ignoring posted signs altogether, and I think the only saving grace is that the cars are usually brand new.

I could go on about how much I have a problem with Uber, just like how much I hate taxis. The only nice thing about Uber here is that there's an easy way to get in touch and fix a problem. That for sure, I agree, is worth the cost.

That being said, I've found UberX in SF is cheaper than cabs, so I have even less interest in taking cabs.... but the last few cities I went to like NYC and Miami, the cabs were great. Wish SFMTA would step it up...
