Uber and Lyft arrives in about five minutes. Their cars are clean and the drivers polite and help load/unload my groceries. The last time I called ABQ Cab it took forty-five minutes to arrive. With Yellow Cab I've waited as long as ninety minutes, and got a rude driver. Who do you think I'm going to call?
Some cities, like Pittsburgh, have adjusted to the times and adapted their cab service to be more like Uber. I guess Albuquerque Cab couldn't (or wouldn't) adjust to the times?
You can't just show up when you want, drive a stinky cab, be rude to passengers and stay in business.
