Took an Uber home from the BMO centre tonight, as expected it was a seamless Uber experience and the driver was friendly & competent. Price was on par with a cab, perhaps slightly cheaper?
Two other observations:
- I've never seen so many available cabs outside the BMO centre on a Saturday night.
- Calgary Cab companies should be terrified.
The real kicker here being that the taxi cartel could likely recreate the software UX if they really wanted, "Need a cab, here's your driver, they're on the way!" and bill it to your credit card.
