Uber car service

You guys have this in your city? Basically it's a freelance taxi app, with the safeguards that all drivers have to pass a background check and car inspection, no money changes hands except digitally through the app, and drivers must maintain high ratings or they get kicked out of the program. It's apparently revolutionized the industry in the places it's been rolled out. I signed up (as a potential passenger, not a driver) because I was intrigued and it seems like the kind of thing you'd already want installed when you need it. Just playing around with it, there is supposedly a driver within 15 minutes of my house right now, ready to give me a ride at a moment's notice.

Going to the airport next weekend, I just might try it out. If no one is available we can always take the car and park like we planned...
