The cons are a lot of the uber drivers don't actually know how to drive or know their way around town which makes for some real frustrating experiences.
Ubers/Lyfts are definitely not cheaper anymore but I like the convenience (easy to expense for work, more reliable). I'd disagree with them knowing their way - I find Uber drivers use navigation a lot more than taxis - I find that I always have to explain to the taxi driver how to get somewhere as most of them do not use navigation and I really don't want to talk to my driver.
