Thanks for perfectly illustrating the impact of Uber - now you complain about few minutes!
I used a "real taxi" a lot in Germany, Poland and CZ before Uber. The best approximate they gave me was "in half an hour" and it usually was more like 45-60 minutes, if it arrived at all. The usual thing to do was to take one passing by, but that got you a terrible smelly car with a ganster driver that overcharged 2x-5x.
Since you mention CZ - the taxi mafia in Prague was especially legendary. Can't thank Uber enough for disrupting that.
