#Toronto: instead of using Uber or Lyft (which are a bad deal for drivers), you can use the TaxiClub app to call a local taxi.

An actual taxi! The app displays estimated price, expected time, and where your taxi is in real time (useful, when they get lost in a messy numbering zone!)

I asked a driver, who'd worked for Uber and then moved to a taxi, and he said the latter was a much better deal for him. Sold.

@deborahh I've never understood why some association of taxi companies doesn't form a consortium for a app to call a taxi. It sounds like maybe they have in Canada.
@gdinwiddie exactly. Depending where I am in the city, I may get a different cab company in reply.
