Uber in Shenzhen
I'll be in Shenzhen in the near future and was wondering what the Uber situation is like there. I know they are in the city, but do they have a fair amount of cars at this point or will there still be long waits?
Thanks a lot,
Troy

It works okay in the heart of Futian, but not so great for points east/west/north. The cornerstone of my approach to Shenzhen transportation has been to amass a collection of black car phone numbers, which I tag based on their normal stomping grounds (unfortunately, my phone died last week and I lost the bulk of these numbers, but it's pretty easy to build your own collection). Taxis are usually fine too, but not at most border checkpoints.
