It feels like Uber's use case is still quite a middle/upper-middle class urban thing, and that the market hasn't decided to hand itself over to microservice taxis just yet.
- ghaff 11y agoThat's because, when you get right down to it, Ubers are taxis which have always been primarily a middle/upper-class, urban-ish thing. It increases the pool of available drivers/cars and it simplifies the whole process, especially in areas that didn't have a well-established set of taxi services. But the economics are still basically the economics of hired cars (whether taxis, limos, or whatever).
