Depends on where you are. In Australia most taxi companies have an app that works like uber. Shows you the route and a fixed price. And when a driver picks up your fare, it'll show you where they are.

Taxi's are pretty shite tbh even with the app :\

Do the taxi's have something like Uber Green:

Haha honestly I have no idea. I live near a train station so not a lot of opportunity to catch either taxis or uber..
