> because an Uber actually shows up when you want one. When Uber starts to face its economic reality, I predict the first thing to go will be service in my neighborhood. Uber has been subsidizing rides everywhere in the city. Which means that my neighborhood is excessively cheap given the low demand. I've paid $14 for what would cost $35 in a taxi. When Uber stops subsidizing this, it means that fewer people will use it and fewer cars will be in the area. That means drivers would have to drive an extra 10-15 minutes to get to me. That's a lot of driving time without getting paid, and drivers don't like that. That's why taxis never came to my house, pre-Uber. It still doesn't make sense at higher prices. Pre-Uber, I would pay limo services $60-$100 just to ensure someone showed up. That's not something most people would pay to use regularly. That $14 price can't jump to $60 and still get many customers. So when the cuts come, I just imagine that my neighborhood will just go back to they-don't-show level service like I used to get with Yellow Cab. And I expect to just start seeing "nothing available, sorry" in the app, resorting to arrangements with limo companies again.
