I've taken taxis to from places the last couple times and they were a little slower, but predictable. I think there are still laws taxis have to abide by.
Meanwhile was stranded and we took an uber, and they did some shenanigans with pricing in the evening and it was > $100.
I think it is pretty easy to figure out if someone is in a bind and charge more. consider: on side of freeway. In front of car dealer. in front of hospital. In business parking lot hours after closing. when it is dark where it is lonely. etc.
