Or you could just use your local taxi service which doesn't have gig-economy shenanigans attached.
- Best option: avoid taxis and ride shares like the plague and use transit as often as you can
  
  True, I always opt for the bus when I can (it's so much cheaper and less awkward).
- Local taxi services can be a bit scammy on their own
  
  I agree, especially if you're a tourist in a foreign country and you don't speak the language
- Lol. There's no taxi service anymore. At least in Bucharest most taxi drivers moved to uber/bolt and the remaining "traditional" taxi companies are unreliable.
  
  Can't speak for everyone, but my local ones are pretty reliable. One even has its own app that lets you call a taxi like Uber.
- Somehow taxis in Arnhem cost €40 for a 15 minute drive, I'll use a deelfiets (it's better for the environment, too)

FREENOW is also pretty good, links with actual taxis too, especially in Germany.
- Only available in 9 countries so far but does looks good

is blablacar an eu company? They rock for ridesharing big trips.
- Yes french

TIL they’re Estonian. I somehow thought they were part of Google, but that seems incorrect. Will replace Uber for good then!
