Was Uber ever cheaper than a cab? I knew about them fairly early on, and even then the prices were way more than a taxi. The only benefit it really offered was that you may not even have access to a taxi service where you are, but Uber drivers could be your next door neighbor.

Yes, at the beginning I could get an Uber black for under taxi rates. Nowadays I have no idea because Uber essentially ran the taxi companies out of business.

Either way, 2 years ago, an Uber from the airport to the strip was $12-15.
