Uber in Kuala Lumpur
Has anyone used Uber in Kuala Lumpur? How has it compared to regular taxis?
Here's the Uber KL page: https://www.uber.com/cities/kuala-lumpur
for comparison:
Government taxi rate: 3 RM for the 1st km, .1 RM per 150 meters thereafter + 25 RM per hour (0.41 per minute). 2 RM extra for calling the cab, 1 RM for using the trunk.
Uber: 2 RM + .7 RM per kilometer + .35 RM per minute. 3.50 RM minimum fare.

It was banned for a short while. I wasn't aware it was up and running again...

Re: Uber in Kuala Lumpur
We tried Uber, and found it less than reliable so now we use My Teksi again - the Grab Car option is particularly good.
