i wish that were true outside the US :( i really really want lyft here in AU so that i can ditch uber
as it stands, the options are taxis and not getting private transport, which is the option i've taken when it's not too inconvenient

Another interesting thing I've noticed, my taxi trips for a few commonly used trips turn out to be occasionally cheaper, and rarely more than 5 or 10% more expensive than the Uber rides I used to use... (And that includes getting home at 1am on the nighttime surcharge rate here in Sydney...)
As a friend commented on Twitter recently: "it's pretty hard to make taxi owners look good - (not drivers, most drivers NOT owners) but Uber's making it happen"
