    And I’ve had hundreds of cab rides that were just fine, and the fare was exactly what I expected. You cannot come in here comparing the excesses of one system against the normal usage of the other system and not get called on it.

      “what I expected” please expand. Other than maybe having done the trip before a number of times (which would account for a tiny fraction of the rides I took), and even then time of day would affect the price, I really had very little idea what the ride would cost, especially if we’re talking within cents.

        I’ve never had surge pricing in cabs. And yeah trips around your own town that would have been done multiple times.
