You’ve taken “dozens” of yellow cabs trips and gotten into multiple car accidents? Lol okay. Yellow cabs are now much cheaper too.

Yes, one major (stopped traffic on FDR, we luckily weren’t hurt) and two minor (fenders)

Not to say Ubers are without incident. One Uber driver memorably got confused about his GPS and stopped in the space adjacent to the offramp on a BQE exit during fast evening traffic, which was very unsafe. Had a couple others simply go the wrong way- twice we crossed a borough bridge when we were not supposed to leave the borough.

TBH I didn’t know the price swapped so aggressively. I hadn’t thought offpeak rideshares were more expensive than what i assumed cabs would cost for the same ride
