I've been seeing some complaints that taxis are cheaper than Ubers. Wow. So unfair.

Fun that you mention it, taxis in my country are several orders of magnitude more expensive per kilometer, and they typically require paying in cash.

I’m yet to find a taxi company that doesn’t use an app similar to Uber nowadays (except the hyenas). Also, due to regulations, Uber essentially became a taxi company, at least in Europe.

Love it, reminds me of my nephew (aroung age 10) hearing analog radio in the car for the first time and asking, "Is this a podcast where they play songs and then talk about them?" Which,, I guess he wasn't wrong.

@pseudonym mine gets so annoyed by commercials and only being able to watch something when it comes on rather than whenever.
