Sure, but they solve different needs. If I'm in a random location and need a car now? Easier to use Uber/Lyft. If I know I'm going to need to be picked up after a concert when surge pricing is going to be brutal? Much easier to call a driver friend ahead of time and offer them cash to be ready to pick me up at a set location.
