Calling a Cab in 2026.

Shoutout Morgan H for this Move.

Nostalgia’s a wild thing man. Never in a million years did I ever think I’d yearn for oddly shaped logos with color schemes that pay absolute no tribute to the original branding. Yet here I am, debating whether a throwback AI jersey and calling a cab will make my life better.

Uber used to be unstoppable. I mean prime Uber... Gives me this feeling, or that. Changed the game. Paved the way for convenient automobile transportation.

Pre-Uber... Oh boy. What a scary place. Ease? Hell no. Customer service? What? Ratings? Reviews? Ha.

Honestly, I’m trying to recall the step-by-step process it took to get a cab to my desired location. Waving one down is one thing. Getting one to drive off the beaten path is another. Had to know the number, had to know your exact location. Shuffling to the nearest intersection. “One second... Ok... York and Burke.” They say 15 minutes, but who the fuck knows. What a truly awful experience.

With all that being said, the idea of calling a cab is starting to look at me like a Vince Carter Raptors throwback. Might have to dabble.

“Just called a cab!”

“Hehehe. That’s a fun term for calling an Uber.”

15 minutes later, some yellow taxi comes rolling up.

“Wow... What?”

Think there’s something there. Always fun to look back and wrap your arms around a little nostalgia. Might make you appreciate the advances in modern technology. Or maybe the cab experience ends up being sick and you have a new Move in your arsenal.

Either way, worth a spin.

Calling a Cab in 2026. Could Be The Move.
