"I tried an Uber for the first time to find out what all the hype is about"

Bristol has many different ways to travel around the city, from buses to the newer e-scooters, people have a range of choices for how they want to get from point A to point B. But one popular mode of transport to get to your destination without worry is through the use of a taxi, which Bristol is definitely not short of.

As you walk around the city, you won’t be able to miss the immense multitude of blue taxis driving around or outside busy hotspots like Temple Meads station, which require no booking at all. However, in the past 10 years the rise of Uber taxis has taken the country by storm with their quick booking system which provides passengers with rides in just a few minutes.

Despite having had the app for a while, I have never gotten around to actually using it as I normally walk everywhere. But I decided I would try it out for the first time to see what my experience would be like.
