Uber is at least 1000x better than traditionally taxi, without any rating system.

They use to be (along with Lyft). But it's been a very long time since that was clearly true.

In reality I think you can get better experiences than a taxi with a rideshare service (which they really haven't been for a very long time), but it's very hit or miss.

So less consistently bad as a taxi service... but far from consistently good.
