I've checked in on Postmates and Instacart both over the course of more than a year and both were unavailable in my area then and now. At the same time, Lyft and Uber have been here a while and now local businesses have been started to fill the Postmates/Instacart void. It feels like a missed opportunity for growth.

Uber is ostensibly available but the couple of times I've looked out of curiosity it's not clear that there are enough drivers to actually be generally useful.

Yes, there was a time when there were so few drivers for Uber and Lyft here that it was hit or miss. That went away though. At the same time, the little local versions of Instacart and Postmates started showing up. Missed opportunity for growth. Uber and Lyft got it done
