I think you are being abusing the meaning of "replace." Uber is not an austin-only operation. These austin solutions don't currently work in any other city.

I think you are being abusing the meaning of "replace." Uber is not an austin-only operation. These austin solutions don't currently work in any other city. Also- I have heard misery from austin users of the uber replacements. They may be attempting to fill the void, but I don't hear anyone saying they're satisfied with the solutions that are currently festering. They're valued in the billions because they just work, and the solution could be extended in numerous directions that could rejigger everyone's daily lives.
