You can do the same thing with Uber. The driver can just turn off the app and pick you up if you're nearby. Realistically it won't happen often, for the same reason that people didn't keep folders full of yellow cab business cards.

Well they probably can't because of the Taxi cartel. In most place, they need to be a licensed Taxi driver in a licensed Taxi car to be able to be hailed.
