Let me preface this by saying I've never paid for a Lyft or Uber in my life and probably never will.

However, what you just described sounds like a typical taxi ride as well, i.e. with a professional driver.

It still means that with black cabs in London, but it's true that the concept of a professional driver was already lacking in most places before Uber/Lyft.
