Partly, but partly it is an effect of having of thicker market. Arlington itself is still quite densely populated and Uber drivers have a lot of opportunities to pick up fares there. But you aren't going to find people hailing cabs on the street. But if you have a matching mechanism that works better in less densely populated areas then the drivers can actually pick up fares there so they are more willingly to take someone out there to begin with.
