I don't see how Uber would not be unviable anywhere. As a driver, even if you have one rider per month, why not make an extra $10? WRT "made worse by distances

WRT "made worse by distances" Bay Area is actually pretty sprawling itself. I don't think any rural community will have its points of interests further apart than Bay Area has.

- planteen 9y agoUber doesn't offer service in much of the rural US now. There's a ride service specifically for rural areas called Liberty: http://libertymobilitynow.com/ http://libertymobilitynow.com/ But even these are for micropolitan areas with populations on the order of 40,000. There is still no service for more remote areas.
