It's only Uber in the apocryphal sense of opportunistic ride sharing. The reality it that most Ubers are taxis. I'm talking about people already at the departure point, where their marginal cost is like 20% more minutes/fuel, and they can save %50 of their parking and fuel. Also being able to use the HOV Lane is pretty sweet. The disconnectedness of suburbia is at the heart of this, but essentially insoluble in the short term.
