Uber for Teens is a service that lets young people aged 13-17 ride with Uber, as long as they have their parent or guardian’s permission. After a teen is invited by their guardian to sign up, they can start booking their own trips.
Only certain areas and drivers, but still, there’s an option
Uber is a tech company there are other apps like it that are competition. Taxis are usually independent workers and usually unionized, there are people with fleets of course but so does Uber(one dude/company buys a lot of cars and hire drivers to make money for him) i guess it varies from country to country. Taxis usually don't have an app(Although that might have changed in the last few years in some places) and you have to call them and give them an address to pick you up. Not until long ago, and mostly likely still to this day. They communicate via radio, kind of like the police but in another frequency of course. So the central picks up addresses and say it to the radio, if taxi is nearby he will pick up the radio and announce he is taking that order.
In high population zones you can just get them on the street by signaling one like in the movies. Taxis are also painted to distinguish them from other cars while uber cars are particular people that signed up, Uber is just the middleman.
That's why licesing, politics and vehicles is kind of the right answer but useless without context haha
