Little bit of gear grind, little bit of gear oil and a little bit of referral code crap.
Tried Uber for first time last night. I'd waited 40 min for a taxi, including having chased up for "where the heck is the taxi" and it still didn't show.
Decided screw that and downloaded the Uber app to try.
roughly 2 min to type in my detail, then a 6-7 min wait, and I was in an Uber-X Toyota Camry in better condition than most taxi's I've been in.
Trip home by taxi at the cheapest I've had was $25.something (basically $26)
Trip by Uber-X cost $20, and other than entering the card as a one-off time on the app I didn't have to stuff around with payment when I arrived.
Fuck Taxis. Uber FTW.

So for AKL and WLG, if you want to try Uber with an up-to $25 credit on your FIRST trip, here's a referral code to use during sign-up:

That'll also get me a $25 credit to my account for each person that signs up on that code, and you'll also get a referral code to pass to others.
Use it or not, just there if you want it, and I've put this in RT so it'll get buried fairly quick
