Then ride a cab? You're involving a middle man because they do a pretty damn good job taking you from point A to point B. It's the same reason you might want to

  I take the bus, but I noticed lately that I haven't seen a cab in my city in months, whereas pre Uber I used to see dozens of them a day. For better or worse I think that Uber destroyed the cab industry in my city. Either way, I still think that we could have some sort of decentralized ride sharing platform that doesn't suck so much money out of local communities. I think that this would be better for communities and therefore society a a whole.

    Local cabs need to innovate and provide an app with similar features. If they do that, they'll probably stay in business. If not... Good luck.

      The problem is what happens after Uber goes out of business, having taken out the local cab companies?

        In what sense? The taxi's and their drivers will still be there, they're locals. They're not completely dependent on Uber so if a vacuum would arise, it would be filled quite fast I believe.
