I'm going to be wanting supplemental transportation soon. I've never used Uber and it's been decades since using cab service. People seem to use Uber without hesitation, but I have concerns that may or may not be justified. It would seem that you may get a driver of unknown character who may not show on time and/or driving a car of unknown reliability. Since I've not used Uber, I might just be overcautious? With a cab you might get a trained driver who may have had a background check and a maintained vehicle.
I suppose Uber is the least expensive option? Is there a difference between Uber and Lyft?
