I live in Portland. Radio Cab is by far and away the best cab company here. Their drivers own their cars and the company is owned by the drivers, as a cooperative. The company has a long history
Radio Cab - Serving Portland Since 1946 Every Radio Cab driver I've had has been professional and good with a clean, new car; they are all career cab drivers. No surly non English speaking flakes. I'd hate to see the company get hurt by Uber.
I can't say the same for cab companies and drivers in other cities I've visited and lived. In Berkeley, where I used to live, the cab are old beaters and clunkers, the drivers are all Pakistani (or so it seems), the service level is terrible. I'd love to see them swept away.
