Re:Uber: A Feisty Start-Up Is Met With Regulatory Snarl by untog on Monday December 03, 2012 @09:29AM (#4865475)
but I've never been on a Uber thread without hearing some New Yorker claim that taxis won't offer universal service (mostly refusing fares which take them out of Manhattan), but Uber does.

That happens, but is an extreme minority case (and against the law). The reality is that Uber's markup means that even if get turned away by a yellow cab one out of every five times, it's still worth trying.
