Do you prefer to stop a taxi on the road or call one to pick you up?

I am not good in commuting that is why when I ride in a public transportation, I should have a companion. I have not yet experience taking a taxi while in the middle of the street.

It isn't common here. I never used a taxi in my life! :) They now have services like Uber/Lyft that is pretty common but I don't use those either.

Usually I drive my car myself.If not I never stop a taxi on the road.I phone and arrange a taxi to pick me up.

Don't they have Uber in the Philippines?

Luckily we rarely need a taxi now as we don't often go to the city. It is getting very difficult to call a taxi service and have the cab pick you up in time nowadays. There seems to be far fewer taxis.

I prefer to stop one so can see what the driver looks like.

Here I still prefer to stop a taxi on the road. If I make a call, then usually I have to make it one day earlier. It is inconvenient. Now since Uber is available, everything changes. It is convenient for me to call a Uber as they are around. It is even easier to stop a taxi on the road because they can be occupied.

I prefer to call a cab by phone myself

I have the phone number of a rickshaw and a taxi. I call them whenever I want them. If they are engaged then they send someone else

there are two taxi riders here at home. one prefers uber, the other prefers grab. i seldom ride them, but when i do, i just hail one from the street or the taxi stand. do you have uber or grab up there in baguio?

I prefer taxi. I don't have anyone to pick me up.

Waiting for a taxi takes me about 45 minutes before it shows up to the store. In Kalamazoo where I live each one is usually busy on check days,weekends and holidays. Plus the cost is 3.00 per mile. I live three miles from the store and it costs me 12.00 .I only due that once a month Sometimes cab drivers will give me their card to ask for them when I call the cab company. The cab may come a lot quicker. I also remember when this company first started out. The owner had the drivers wear black pants,white shirts,black tie, and a black hat. It sure was a nice manner for drivers to look nice like this.

Online APP for carrying-service is my preference, it's more efficient and more no-rejected than old-fashion way.

I usually call a taxi to pick me up, but just because I've never been successful in trying to stop one on the road. Since I've moved, though, I don't use taxis very often. Which do you prefer?

I haven't taken a taxi in many, many years. I usually bike, take the bus or walk or get a lift from a friend.

I ride a taxi if raining and almost late.

In my town in England both the street and rank taxis (known as licensed hackney carriages) and the cabs you phone for (known as licensed private hire vehicles or, in some towns, minicabs) are regulated by the local council, who check and test drivers and vehicles and also set the fares. It is slightly cheaper to get a cab off the street as there is no 'booking fee' or 'running in charge' because they do not have to travel to fetch you. Private hire cars can usually be booked by app as well as by phone. But both are under threat from cab app companies like Uber. These are fairly new and controversial still in the UK. I prefer to ring for a cab from a local private hire.company here which has experienced drivers and always gives 10% discount off the meter price.
