Actually I have used Uber only once. I boarded from Oregon to Ipaja Ayobo and I thought the experience was just splendid. I was in a 2013 Hyundai played my choice of music. Upon arriving at my destination the cost was 3500 after being in heavy traffic for over an hour. In my personal experience, traditional taxis wouldn't offer such comfort and most importantly excellent customer service as both driver and passenger are rated for their experience for that journey. I think it's charged based on set rate per km and offer discounts on frequent users.
