In Stockholm there is one taxi company that has always been better called “Taxi Stockholm”, quality cars with great experienced drivers and good service. It was a premium though. They have a good app as well.

Getting in anything else is variable, from good to being completely ripped off paying three times more and being driven all over the city to rack up miles. There are even services that make the signs on the cars look like Taxi Stockholm - so you get in the wrong car.

Ride sharing means that I can get in anything and at least get home in one of the shortest routes or not pay over what I should. Still prefer Taxi Stockholm.

In other cities ridesharing equalizes the experience.
