Room to raise prices in very dense areas maybe. Uber is only viable in a lot of places (like DFW) because their rates are much much lower than the per-mile Yellow Cab rates that came before. Here you had to decide wether the (not all that convenient) convenience of a taxi to the movies on date-night was actually worth $40 each way and a half hour's wait to you. Where at maybe $15 each way and a 5 minute wait with Uber it's a no-brainer. At least that's my experience. Never been to San Francisco. But in Chicago or NYC I generally use Uber just because most taxi drivers seem to only drive at 99% of their limits and it's stressful. The Uber drivers are much more sedate generally. IME.
