Folks too Ritzy to get in a taxicab hit the Uber button on their IPhone (may work on Android now, not sure). A nice black car homes in on your signal, and takes you to where you want to go - as long as you are going from one nice area to another. A related service is Uber X which is cheaper, because you are riding in ordinary cars (generally without legal insurance).
Two points off your hipster score.
Interesting. I admit that I haven’t ridden in a taxi since 1969 so I’m a little out of it. We don’t even have any taxi cabs within 200 miles of where I live.
