Note
Taxis are officially superior to ride sharing services again. They are often faster, the drivers are more professional, and they usually know where they are going.

Only the taxis that have their own ride-hailing app! Once taxis started adding ride-hailing and payment via the app, then they're basically all the good parts of Lyft and none of the bad.

I still continue to have a bad time with old-school taxis. The last trip I took the driver asked me to pay in cash but I didn't have enough, so he took $20 cash and the rest on the card, which just feels sketch.

This is especially true in NYC. I always laugh when one of my friends stands around waiting to an UberX while I hail a cab. Needless to say, I’m the one who makes it to LGA first.
