Of course it's cheaper than actually calling a Taxi dispatcher, verbally providing a pickup location, and paying cash.
But how much cheaper?
Uber, Lyft, Grab and others are in the business of figuring out those margins... and riders will pay rate increases as supply and demand equalizes.
But we have apps for hailing Taxis...?
These do all the automated hailing, tracking the taxi for pickup (got my anxiety levels down quite a bit, I've had taxis not come for important trips), as well as payment and ratings (optional).
Underrated, never felt cheated out of a lyft or uber. I've even tipped.
