Yellow cab is still more expensive and the cars are dirtier. I wonder why they don't try to compete on price at least with Uber.


It's been my experience (~ 4 years ago) that generally taxis were cheaper than Uber in new york, especially for anything like "Get me to the airport", sometimes like $25 cheaper.


In my experience its actually cheaper at least for airport rides. $50 flat through yellowcab app and no surge nor tip when ordered through app compared to $65 at best sometimes well over double during a bad surge.


Does Uber pay the same licenses and insurance fees yet?
