Where I live the surge is so frequent and severe, and the wait so long with 2,3,4 cancellations byb drivers half way approaching you, that taxis start looking attractive again. This is even though they have raised prices, $10.50 flagfall before leaving the curb Saturday night. It seems all uber has done is handed out a few cheap rides for a while, sucked a heap of money out of the taxi industry, then going to leave us with the taxis, only paying higher prices. Disruption indeed, but of no to the benefit of the customer, least not in any long term way.
