Why would I need good luck ? I use Uber at least half a dozen times a month and never had a problem. The same can not be said of the local firms. Almost all the Uber drivers I've had have been from Adur or Lewes so even all this shit about 'London drivers' is rubbish.

Assume you are a cab driver? From my experience they just rip you off with fixed fares. They used to get really upset when I declined a fixed fare from Brighton to Newhaven as it was generally £5 cheaper on the meter.

App works just like Uber (apparently as I've never used them), can track the car and you know the name of the driver, estimated cost, car reg etc.

You can't educate pork.

Apparently you can educate City Cars in Sheffield who now use an 'Uber App' clone.

Last night's Uber, City Centre to Portslade £12 in a brand new Audi A6 with a nice, talkative, happy driver who knew the local area very well. Last B&H taxi I took cost nearly £20 into Brighton and the miserable cabbie (who didn't mutter a word until we got into town) dropped me at the clock tower (despite the journey supposed to end at the Seven Stars pub) refusing to go any further.

We all have a choice, I chose Uber.

This sums the reality very nicely. Uber is successful for a reason and it isn't a race to the bottom. We were already there with B&H Taxis.
