In America, ordering a taxi before rideshare apps was unreliable at best, if you were outside of central parts of major cities.
More than one time I got stuck somewhere and had to walk 4 hours home.

This was not the case everywhere. For instance, Ireland deregulated taxis in 2002, and service improved massively after that.
It's funny how many amazing tech developments are really just a reaction to the peculiar pathologies of American/SF culture.
