I've never used Uber or Lyft.  I've only had one experience with a taxi in Eugene.  When I came out of the airport, in search of a taxi, I was asked if I was a visitor or lived here.  When I said I lived here, I was sent to a taxi with a driver who was an older, toothless woman who reeked of cigarette smoke.  I guess they figured they didn't need to impress me since I was a local, and saved a more pleasant travelling experience for visitors.
