That was it. It was also all fully licensed chauffer type drivers (all the vehicles were pretty much town cars with TCP numbers etc) so service initially was so ridiculously better than cabs it wasn't even close.
The drivers they had (initially) were used to talking rich execs around - so everything was leather and usually pretty dressed up.
Then SF started in on "rider / consumer protection" and weirdly the drivers became just random / unlicensed folks! Literally, uberCab was amazing, then San Francisco started fighting Uber and before you know it the cars were random / drivers random etc.
