Well first of all I wasn't trying to build a straw man, and I'm certainly not trying to become the face of an anti-Uber sentiment on CP, I was simply asking because it seemed everyone was boasting that Uber is always cheaper than a cab.
Those were the two main gripes of Calgarians; Taxi's are never available and they're stupidly expsenive.
Secondly, you'll have to help me with my math I guess, because he said the cab ride was $35 after tip and the Uber ride was $20 minus a promo code. So by my math the Uber ride was $21+$20 (if you took that ride without a promo code, which is what everyone will be doing for 99% of their Uber rides) = $41.
To me $41 is more than $35, but maybe my math skills are fading over time.
