- You book Uber online only.
- Uber is cheaper.
- In many large downtown areas, a car usually comes within two minutes.
- When you get to where you're going, you say thanks and get out. You're billed electronically and get a receipt.
- If you're taken on a roundabout route to pad the bill, every trip has a GPS track you can use for evidence and dispute resolution.
- You get to rate the driver. Bad drivers get dropped from the Uber program.
Taxi companies hate Uber because of the following (see above!)
- It exposes their inflated pricing
- They have to actually try to get to your location in a reasonable amount of time.
- No more taking passengers on a "ride" for a padded bill. They can't take advantage of visitors to the area.

The big difference between a taxi and an Uber is this. Taxis are run by large companies and they are regulated by state laws and regulations and they are required to have a business license and a special drivers license.
An Uber is just some guy with a car and lots of free time.
