    That still makes no sense. Cabs have no affiliation (e.g. yellow cab) with Uber. I doubt any cab driver cares about Uber PINs. What am I missing?

      If you got in an actual taxicab, you are correct that the driver would not care about your Uber PIN. Uber is replacing, or trying to replace, the usual pool of taxi drivers hanging around outside the airport terminal with their own herd of “contractors” waiting to do the same thing, only with the totally unnecessary layer of their stupid app being in between.
