Uber has variable pricing, whilst taxis do not (it's the whole point of the meter, which is why shady types try to "play games" with it).
Nowadays taxis will also take credit cards (I guess in some countries maybe some don't).
Agree on the superiority of having a rating system, though.
An Uber will never pick you up and tell you "My credit card reader is broken" at the end of the ride after driving you in circles.
Thats a pity, because I don't have cash on me.
