    In many places calling a taxi is a gamble. They often just don’t show up. Maybe ride-share has changed this significantly, but it’s easy to forget no-shows were one of the reasons ride-share became popular. Not just aggressively low pricing.

    And yes. I know you can have no shows with ride share. But it’s nothing like calling a phone number and being promised a car and waiting blindly for an hour.

    We need the apps and reasonable regulation. And better public transport.
