Beginning this week, Uber customers could be getting picked up in a yellow cab thanks to a new partnership expanding service in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties.
When customers request a ride with UberX, they may get picked up by a taxi driver if they're nearby.

Riders will pay the UberX rate and will receive upfront pricing in the Uber app. Riders will always be notified if they're matched with a taxi, and will have the opportunity to decline the match and get re-matched with a driver who isn't in a taxi or simply cancel their ride altogether.
A recent analysis on the taxi pilot program in San Francisco found taxi drivers who provided Uber trips earned an average of $1,767 per month from those trips alone and earned 23.8% more on average than taxi driver who did not provide Uber trips. Officials said the six taxi companies total about 1,200 vehicles with a service area nearly continuous in coastal California from the US-Mexico border to north Los Angeles County.
