I'm from Romania and a taxi/Uber ride is somewhere between $2 and $5, which is pretty cheap compared with other countries.
I used to ride with Uber and Bolt a lot, however they've been raising pricing during rush hour and I'm not stupid enough to not notice the bill at the end of the ride and these costs add up.
So several months back I stopped taking car rides altogether. I walk a lot, I don't mind walking 3 Km on foot. I ride my bike to and from work, which is actually more efficient than driving a car in this city. And now in winter due to weather I also use public transportation. I also have a driver's license and own my own car.
I'm not worrying about prices set dynamically. People can notice the bill and Uber is not competing just with Lift or taxis, it's competing with walking on foot, with public transport, with owning your own car and if their prices aren't reasonable, they won't survive.
