Here is the full review after he gave it a go for a week.
Top Takeaways
Pay is comparable but the rideshare bonuses really tilt the scales! Uber and Lyft pay top drivers up to $500 per week on top of fares just to get them out on the road.
Taxi passengers tended to be older, more mature and far more interesting. Many of them had a strong anti Uber and Lyft bias because of the increased congestion associated with rideshare.
The taxi sign-up process is much more onerous even though both rideshare drivers and taxi drivers are doing the exact same job. Jay had to submit fingerprints, a drug test, online training and even submit a few paper forms.
It requires far more skill to be a good taxi driver than a good Uber/Lyft driver.

Yes, you can schedule a ride ahead in SF if you are worried about getting a ride, though as RedANT stated you should have no problem getting a ride on demand.
If you are looking for companies that focus on scheduling rides in advance you can use RideGuru's Fare Calculator and look under the "Book Ahead" tab for your trip to find companies that will allow you to easily book your ride in advance.

Here is a handy guide for what each car size can accommodate!
Try using the RideGuru Fare Calculator to estimate the cost of your trip!
Oh man, wow. I never really thought of this situation before but that sucks. Do you have video footage (dash cam) or audio you can provide to clear your name?
I am confused why someone would claim this if it wasn't true, what do they have to gain from it? I worry that this happened to someone and they reported it on the wrong ride. I might take this stance when replying to Uber - you are worried that whoever did do this is still out driving passengers around.
Have you tried using our fare comparison calculator to find a ride and estimated price for your trip?
Yes, you should be able to do this easily through the Uber app.

Would you mind sharing the amounts of the charges? Sometimes Uber does do a temporary authorization hold, especially if you are a new customer, so I could see you having 2 charges for each ride with one of the charges eventually disappearing but 3 is odd! I wonder if one is some toll or fee that for some reason wasn't tacked onto the total?

When you order a ride through the Lyft app, the app will update you with a notification when your driver is on their way. You will then be able to track your driver as they approach your location so you will know exactly when they have arrived!
Lyft does not require any monthly or yearly fee to use their services. Though if you do wish to join their membership program, Lyft Pink, there is a monthly fee of $9.99 per month.
You can use our fare calculator to estimate the cost of his ride. Also, many services including Uber and Lyft now allow you to "book ahead". Typically you can book 30 days in advance but this does change from company to company.
My best guess is that there is already an account created under your phone number. If you do not believe you have created an Uber account before, I would contact Uber to report the issue.
I would recommend an Uber gift card! I know there is Uber in Wenatchee, WA, I am unsure if Lyft operates there.
Ugh, I'm sorry! Sadly, this type of situation is seeming more and more frequent with Uber and Lyft as the companies are still struggling to get enough drivers on board. I am glad your daughter eventually got to campus safely, but what an ordeal! Has she written to Lyft complaining? Not that it helps much but she might be able to get some ride credit back.
You are going to need to report this directly to the rideshare company he drives for, such as Uber or Lyft.
