As a Vancouverite, I'm extremely bothered by it. The taxi situation in Vancouver is beyond pathetic -- it's difficult to get one even in off-peak times and the service is terrible. I've used Uber in other cities and it's fantastic; I've signed every petition there is to try and bring it here.

Transit in Vancouver is pretty good but it won't help you late at night. I've fully given up ever trying to get home after a Christmas party (I get a hotel room now and transit in the morning).
