The difference is that getting a taxi medallion is a pain in the ass and requires a good deal of effort, whereas any asshole can sign up to drive Uber.

So the quality of the average taxi driver is higher than the average Uber driver..

Not my experience at all.

Imo, there may be more variance with Uber drivers(though I’ve never had a horrible one)but the average taxi driver sucks. The average Uber driver is solid.
