@JohnPhilpin I had a few experiences this year wherein I was treated well by a taxi company, and then the other was completely awful, including when I wasn't even using them. The drivers for Uber did their job well, they were everything they needed to be in a time of great need; meanwhile the black-cab drivers have been fucking awful.

I'm glad that people in the metropolitan bubbles -- the big cities such as London and San Francisco -- and in the web echo chambers have all managed to carve a nice black-and-white narrative for these problems, however it would be good if people could understand that the world is a lot bigger than that.
