Were those usable? Certainly not in my part of the world (SV). Where are you from?

Yes - NYC. Native and still living here so I've been in a lot of cabs, cars, ubers, and lyfts.

There you go. I have been visiting NYC for two decades now and could rely on cabs to a large extent. But haven't seen any reliable cab network like that in other parts of the US (SV, Austin, LA, Seattle, Denver-Boulder, ...).
