I nearly cried…

I was going to say that it might be a good idea to build a relationship with a local firm if you have one.

We don't need to use taxis at the moment but my neighbour has an account with one in the village and rarely has a problem.

Same here.

We both drive, and drive each others cars when necessary, but, we have an account with local taxi drivers.

They are reliable and I feel totally safe using them on my own, and when the children were younger especially DD they were invaluable.

Where I live there is no public transportation of any kind, no Uber, no taxi, no buses. So if my vehicle does not work, I can't go anywhere. Being stuck especially when one is stuck, is awful.

I’m sorry you had such a bad time but Uber is a casual service. Drivers go for the best ride in terms of ease and money, so they often ditch a ride if a better one comes along.

I’m afraid that the risk you take with Uber.

Am so sorry, we had this problem when waiting for an Uber to take myself and my disabled OH to hospital after the trains stopped running. An Uber showed up with the right colour and reg but just as it pulled up and we approached the door it promptly took off again. Then the next one never came at all. Were lucky on our third try and got to the appointment late but thankfully the consultant still saw us, but at this point my OH was in terrible pain due to mobility problems and very confused due to cognitive impairment. It took a long time for him to recover.

Oh you poor thing . I don’t use Ubers/Taxis that often, maybe once a year.
So sorry for your bad experience. Take some painkillers and have a nice lie-in today.
Hopefully you will feel better soon

That sounds awful. I hope you get your money back, not that it makes up for it but paying us adding insult to injury.

I hope your back is better today.
