Huh? What's wrong with an Uber or taxi? I don't get what you don't understand about it. It will take you exactly where you want to go.

Some examples of where this mode of transportation has a big advantage:

If it's too long to reasonably travel by bike, especially in current weather conditions
If there are no nearby bus stops
If the bus line doesn't come very often (ex: several hours for a bus to arrive at the stop you're at)

I hate cars. They kill people, animals and the environment. They make climate change worse. They are noisy. Taxis and Uber are just a way to perpetuate car dependency and avoid investing in public transit.

I moved to a metropolis just so I can avoid using cars and have reliable public transit. I even cycle 100km to national parks.

Cars are bad, mmm'kay.
