Sadly for a service meant to be about convenience I am starting to go back to cabs
YES - it's a VERY frequent occurrence.

Although in fairness - it is happening a little less in the last 6 months.

If it ever occurs - lodge a complaint with Uber and if you're on Twitter - blast them on that as well.

Uber will usually compensate you - and if enough folks continue to complain - then those ex-taxi drivers will be sent packing back to taxis where they belong.
