Uber rocks.

I will never use anything else especially in metro ATL, where the "licensed" cab companies utilize worn-out, rickety former police vehicles painted with a brush, every idiot light on the dash is flashing, no a/c and surly drivers that barely speak English or any other discernible language for that matter.

Then most of them refuse to take credit cards when in fact there is a city ordinance that they are required to do just that. I've never had worse cab service anywhere in the world than I have had right here in my own city and it is very embarrassing.

The local companies are of course up in arms over Uber, Lyft and other companies like them trying to muscle in on their business, but until these companies wake up and repair their fleets and hire professional drivers they'll never have a chance.

The app works. You choose your service, get the cost estimate, request the vehicle, get a call confirming the ride along with a picture of your driver in under 5 minutes, and there are always several drivers minutes away. Win.
