Was travelling to Salt Lake City for business and signed up for Uber while I was down here.
Experience was exceptional. A few highlights:
-all clean cars
-the driver was not on the phone the entire time
-offered snacks/water/drinks
-no issue of 1) our visa card machine is broken 2) I have no change
-I can track where the driver is via GPS
-Cheaper than a taxi cab by a substantial amount (my ride to the airport cost $7, a cab was $25)
I can see why taxi companies are scared, this is a completely disruptive business model that is vastly superior to traditional cab companies.
I for one sure hope Uber makes its way to Calgary soon.
