Reddit, Uber is a newer taxi service that is much cheaper and much easier to use then other taxi services. It is an app that allows the taxi to come directly to you with the touch of a button. However these are not your normal taxis, the driver that picks you up will be in his own car (usually nicer then a normal taxi) and be a safe driver to where ever you need to go. Because Uber does not use government owned taxis or need to give the government a cut of the profits they are over 40% cheaper then other taxi services. As low as 1$ per mile in the city. Currently in the state of Illinois there is a bill being passed to make taxi services like Uber illegal, mainly because Uber is the clear choice for most residents or visitors to Chicago and other major cities and they want to protect their monopoly.
<bot>: Uber is an amazing, faster and much cheaper taxi service and the state of Illinois is trying to ban it to protect there monopoly over the taxi service.
