Because Let's Face It, Flagging Down a Taxi is So Last Season
San Francisco is a tech hub, baby, and flagging down a taxi is about as retro as a flip phone. With Uber, you can ditch the curbside desperation and request a ride with a tap of your finger. No more awkward small talk with grumpy taxi drivers (although, we admit, they do provide excellent local gossip).
QuickTip: Slow scrolling helps comprehension.
Uber: Your Knight in Shining Armor (or Prius)
Let's be honest, San Francisco's hills are no joke. Unless you're training for the Tour de France, those inclines will leave you winded faster than you can say "Alcatraz." Uber swoops in to save the day (and your calves) by delivering you to your destination in comfort and style. Need a spacious ride for your shopping spree at Westfield? No problem! Craving some delicious dim sum in Chinatown but your stomach can't handle the walk? Uber's got you covered.
