We are in Paris. We have taken a mix of uber and taxis. I can see why people like uber and I am ok with taxis failing.

The best perk about uber is there is no price rip offs.
Since we are new I don't fully know all the rules for taxis but 1 taxi added a $3 supplement and another $4. I think does aren't appropriate charges. Plus taxis give you shit for paying with a credit card. The guy we just had tried to add an extra $1 until I pointed it out.

Uber payments are obviously super easy plus they follow the navigation.
I think one of the taxis did some extra circles.

I took a cab last week for the first time in a long time. It was a horrible experience comparably. - Mel Profit Mar 25, 12:18 1

  - they can talk all they want about their invisible god, looking at the statuary in most of those cathedrals appeals to my innate paganism -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 25, 12:43 1
