Yeah I was a big supporter of cabs, but they have really not gotten any better since ride shares came to town. Still don't show up, or dispatch says a cab is on the way when there isn't one, or drive the long way round to a destination, or have a 'broken meter' and quote steep prices, etc.

I get that ride shares don't pay well so I just give an extra cash tip to them. (Got to tip in the app as well as this adds to the driver's rep.)
