Taxis are awesome.

Yea believe it or not I’d rather take a cab:

1. They are sitting right there when I walk out the door of the airport or train station. No wait.

2. If I want to cruise around the restaurant/bar hotspot on my way to the hotel, they are happy to run the meter.

3. If you want to smoke and the driver says NO you just politely say no thank you, and grab the next cab in line.

4. I don’t need to be rated on how prefect I am at sitting and doing virtually nothing. I do it all the time at home, I have practice.

5. I have two ratings for my trip 1 - I didn’t get there or 5 - I got there. I don’t care if the driver is friendly, or has good conversation or drives 50 in a 35. It’s his ticket.

6. Taxis don’t need my full name, home address, credit card number, expiration date and three digit code just to give me a 5 mile ride. Just “name” at “Bar 1” going to “Bar 2”.

7. Cab driver usually know the city fairly well, Ride shares know how to use Waze.

8. Other things too but it’s 10 and I’m ordering DoorDash! Lol
